Being the first state-owned insurance company established in Abu Dhabi, ADNIC has for a long time stood as a pioneer in the Gulf countries. In 1972, the company saw the light of day, just one year following the establishment of the federal State of the United Arab Emirates. This “historic legitimacy” has positioned ADNIC on all major national development projects, enabling it to be from the outset the privileged insurer of a giant local oil industry: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), established in 1971.
