Mueller Middle East
MME is the first copper tube manufacturing facility in Bahrain to serve the region with commercial copper tubes. Founded in 2016, MME serves the MENA region HVACR market, where MME is the supplier of choice for both OEMs and HVACR part distributors in the region. MME’s facility spans 30,000m2 with strategic connection towards the MENA region, with 0% import duties and 14-day production lead time, the lowest in the region.
The Opportunity
MME is positioned to serve Original Equipment Manufacturers with efficiency and reliability. The company benefits from duty-free access under the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), offering it a cost advantage over global competitors, while its proximity to customers allows for stronger partnerships, quicker response to demand shifts, and opportunities for tailored product solutions. Rising regional demand for cooling infrastructure, driven by urban growth, climate conditions, and government focus on energy efficiency, presents further opportunities for expansion.
The Impact
A more strategic and efficient supply chain
Mueller Middle East (MME) has had a significant impact on the region by strengthening the local HVAC and refrigeration supply chain, reducing reliance on long-distance imports, and supporting faster, more cost-effective access to critical copper tubing. By establishing its manufacturing base in Bahrain, MME not only provides a stable source of high-quality materials but also enhances regional industrial resilience, particularly through its duty-free exports under GAFTA. This localized presence helps create jobs, fosters skill development, and contributes to Bahrain’s positioning as an industrial hub for the wider MENA market. Moreover, MME’s focus on efficient production and energy-conscious copper tube designs supports the region’s push toward sustainable, energy-efficient cooling solutions—an increasingly vital need given the Middle East’s climate and growing urban infrastructure. In this way, MME plays both an economic and environmental role, driving industrial growth while enabling greener development across the region.
