ABOUT US

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

OUR STORY

What started as an Endeavour to produce silicone sealants and automotive paints over 50 years ago has evolved into the region’s leading manufacturer of industrial products.

We are a medium-sized privately operated industrial and trading group that has been in operations for 50 years. The group is based in Kuwait with subsidiaries in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar. Our industrial base covers adhesives, sealants, automotive refinish and detergents where we work with multinationals for quality products that add value to our customer base. The trading profile supplements the industrial sector and expands into technical solutions for structures and other areas.

Since embarking on our journey in 1972, our team of professionals has continued to transform challenges into opportunities through the combination of innovative solutions and environmentally conscientious manufacturing practices.

Having earned an industry reputation for manufacturing products known for their exceptional quality and durability, we strive towards continued excellence. Ultimately, our mission is to fortify a strong international presence while simultaneously empowering regional growth and development.
