Advanced Armour Engineering strengthens leadership team for next phase of growth
Advanced Armour Engineering is pleased to announce the promotion of Owen Hall to Sales Director and Dale Joubert to Technical Director, serving alongside Tim Leam, CEO, as part of the AAE Director team.
Both have been with AAE for more than a decade, and their appointments recognise their contribution to the companyβs growth while strengthening commercial and technical leadership at Director level.
Based in the UAE, AAE is a contract manufacturing and engineering partner to the global defence industry, providing customers with extensive in-house capabilities across engineering, prototyping, precision manufacturing, fabrication, machining, certified welding, assembly and integration.
As AAE continues to grow, we are investing further in our UAE manufacturing capabilities, with new manufacturing facilities planned in the UAE, alongside the continued development of specialist capabilities including military seating, survivability systems and wiring harness solutions.
Looking ahead, our focus is on expanding our capabilities, supporting localisation and in-country manufacturing, developing new products and solutions, and building long-term partnerships with defence OEMs, system integrators and customers across the UAE and international markets.
The leadership evolves. The experience remains.
