SS304 or SS316? Choosing Stainless Grade for UAE Commercial Kitchens
The wrong stainless grade will not fail inspection on day one — it fails eighteen months later, quietly, as pitting under the salt.
Commercial kitchen equipment, stainless steel fabrication, structural steel and custom metal engineering — designed, fabricated and installed across the United Arab Emirates.
50% Up to 50% off your first order Restaurant & commercial kitchen fabrication — claim it with your enquiryAl Madeena Steel Works has been cutting, forming, welding and installing metal in Abu Dhabi since 2026. We are a working fabrication shop — not a trading company that subcontracts the difficult parts.
Everything from a single stainless worktable to a clear-span portal frame warehouse is detailed, fabricated and installed by our own team. That means one point of accountability from the first drawing to the final handover, and a straight answer when something will not work.
Our workshop · Mussafah Industrial Area
Fabrication is a crowded market in Abu Dhabi. These are the things our clients tell us actually made the difference.
Coded welders working to qualified WPS procedures, with documentation available for consultant approval.
Multi-stage inspection from material receipt through fit-up, welding and final finish before anything leaves the shop.
CNC press brakes, plasma and laser profiling, rolling, shearing and a full welding shop under one roof.
Programme-driven production with realistic dates we commit to in writing — and phased delivery when you need it.
Nothing is off the shelf. Every job is detailed, drawn and approved before fabrication starts.
Itemised quotations with clear inclusions and exclusions. No surprises on the final invoice.
Method statements, risk assessments, trained riggers and full PPE discipline on every site we enter.
One point of contact from enquiry to handover, plus breakdown call-out for maintenance clients.
From heavy structural packages to mirror-polished architectural stainless — all cut, formed, welded and finished under one roof in Mussafah.

You send drawings, a sketch or just a description. We review it, ask the right questions and confirm scope in writing.
Where it matters we measure on site rather than trusting a drawing, then produce an accurate material take-off.
An itemised quotation with clear inclusions, exclusions, lead time and payment terms — typically within 48 hours.
Fabrication drawings issued for your approval. Nothing is cut until you have signed them off.
Certified material sourced against mill certificates, inspected and logged on receipt.
Cutting, forming, fit-up and welding in our Mussafah workshop, with in-process inspection at each stage.
Grinding, polishing, blasting, galvanising or powder coating to the agreed specification.
Dimensional check, weld inspection and finish approval against the signed drawing before despatch.
Delivered and erected by our own crews, with lifting plans and permits arranged in advance.
Sign-off, as-built confirmation, care instructions and a warranty on workmanship.
Finding a defect at final inspection means rework. Finding it at fit-up means a five-minute adjustment. So we inspect early and often.
Mill certificates checked against order. Grade, thickness and finish verified and logged before stock is released.
First-off part dimensionally checked against the approved drawing before the batch runs.
Joint preparation, gap, alignment and squareness inspected before any welding is permitted.
Welds executed to qualified procedure by coded welders, then visually inspected 100%. DP and UT available on request.
Surface preparation, coating thickness and polish grade checked against specification.
Full dimensional check against the signed drawing, photographic record, then protected for transport.
Figures are our own rolling twelve-month internal records, reviewed quarterly.
Every worktable, hood and shelf leaves our Mussafah floor cut to your drawing, welded by coded welders and polished to a food-safe finish.

All questionsPractical technical guidance from our engineers — material selection, finishing, and how to keep a fabrication package on programme.

A change made on paper costs an eraser. The same change made after fabrication costs steel, labour, programme and goodwill.
Heat, humidity, salt and UV. Choosing a protective finish here is a different calculation than it is in Europe.
