EVOLUTION AND GROWTH

As part of its objective to invest in commercially attrac-tive opportunities across a variety of sectors and ge-ographies, Mumtalakat completed its first international investment in 2007. Acquiring a significant share in the UK-based racing giant, McLaren, Mumtalakat’s com-mitment to growth supported the company, first estab-lished in 1963 by Grand Prix winner and car designer, Bruce McLaren, to expand its activities from its position as one of motorsport’s most successful competitors to an illustrious technology provider and a prestigious supercar manufacturer.

Playing a pivotal and strategic role on the company’s Board, Mumtalakat supported McLaren’s evolution and the development of its recent accomplishments – from the establishment of its commercial automotive arm to the expansion of its technologies division.

CREATION OF McLARENAUTOMOTIVE LTD

In addition to injecting long-term capital, Mumtalakat sup-ported McLaren’s entry into road car manufacturing, leading to the growth of the company’s automotive line in 2009. As a result of Mumtalakat’s commitment to the supercar con-cept from its initiation to roll out, the automotive line is now a profitable car manufacturer, having reached a production milestone with its 10,000th car in 2016.

Furthermore, leveraging its regional knowledge and net-works, Mumtalakat supported the implementation of McLar-en’s retail distribution strategy, facilitating the expansion of its dealership base both in the Arabian Gulf and the wider Middle East and North Africa region, leading to the compa-ny’s current international presence with 80 dealerships across 30 markets.

EXPANSION OF McLARENAPPLIED TECHNOLOGIES

With the support of Mumtalakat, McLaren Applied Technologies has evolved throughout the years from a motorsport competitor into an innovative technology solutions provider that serves various industries including healthcare, transportation, pharmaceuticals, energy and consumer brands. Through its research and develop-ment and technical expertise, McLaren Applied Technol-ogies addresses the needs and problems of other and sometimes far larger companies.

Enhancing efficiency beyond racing, McLaren Applied Technologies’ expertise delivered innovative solutions to the UK National Air Traffic Control Service (NATS) and Heathrow Airport. Utilising its real-time predictive decision support software platform, Decision Insight, McLaren Applied Technologies created a system that ad-dressed both airline efficiency and pollution. The McLar-en solution allowed airtraffic controllers to optimise the flow of air and ground traffic. In turn, this improved the customer experience as delays were reduced while harmful CO2 emissions were cut substantially.

Furthermore, partnering with leading healthcare experts, McLaren Applied Technologies has leveraged its racing technology solutions to positively impact lives through the development of intelligent medical systems, which both collect personal data in real time while also sug-gesting lifestyle improvements. McLaren Applied Tech-nologies’ wearable technology represents intelligent products for preventative health interventions.
