Offset Requirements

Meet your offset requirements with production in the UAE

Helping you meet your offset obligation with in-country manufacturing provided by our affiliate company in the UAE. All foreign defence contractors who received over $10 million worth of contracts from the U.A.E. over a consecutive five-year period will incur an offset “obligation” amounting to 60% of the total value of those contracts. We can help!

Since 2014, Rockford has worked alongside its affiliate company Rockford-Xellerix in Abu Dhabi to provide support to the MENA region. Through this partnership, Rockford is able to offer offset capabilities to customers who are interested in moving some aspects of production to the UAE. This will help you meet your offset obligations.

Rockford is the UK’s largest independent provider of wiring, interconnect & system solutions for the aerospace, defence and industrial markets.

Rockford-Xellerix LLC is a fully compliant Emirati entity with the required 51% ownership by an Emirati National. This is in accordance with the guidelines set out by the UAE Offset Program Bureau.

With over 40 years of wire harness design experience using the majority of wiring harness systems and materials, Rockford can offer design advice for any type of environment.

Rockford-Xellerix LLC can design and manufacture cable assemblies, electro-mechanical enclosures and sub-systems to IPC 620 standards.

The aim of the UAE offset programme is to provide high-tech jobs for people in local businesses, working often with aerospace and defence companies.

Offset services include the in-country manufacturing of interconnect, cables, electro-mechanical enclosures, design and sub-systems, technology transfer, a regional export capability, local job creation, in-country training and knowledge transfer through supply-chain partners.

Rockford’s customers include; BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Williams Fairy Hydraulics, Thales, Moog, and General Dynamics.
