Zamil Industrial - Insulation Sector

Zamil Industrial maintains a presence in the insulation sector through Gulf Insulation Group (GIG), of which Zamil Industrial is the managing partner and major shareholder with 51% of the equity. GIG comprises three companies: Arabian Fiberglass Insulation Co. Ltd. (AFICO), Saudi Rock Wool Factory Company (SRWF), and Saudi Pre-Insulated Pipes Industries (SPPI). These companies enjoy excellent reputations for the high quality of their environmentally efficient insulation products and solutions, all of which conform to the highest international standards.

GIG operates as a joint venture with Owens Corning, USA, the world leader in the technology of manufacturing fiberglass products. The Group manufactures premium-quality glass wool insulation products for industrial and commercial applications. It is also the only manufacturer of fiberglass insulation products in Saudi Arabia. The Group’s premium quality products and services are comparable to those of its counterparts in the United States and Europe.

Since 1992, the Group has been manufacturing rock wool products for construction and industrial customers, providing materials for local and international markets ever since. The company focuses on rock wool, one of the most effective and widely used thermal, acoustical, and fire insulation materials.

The Group’s production capacity reaches 65,000 tons per annum. It currently owns about 80% of the rock wool production capacity in Saudi Arabia and 55% of the existing capacity in the GCC region, using the latest technology in this field. The Group employs qualified technical staff with vast experience in providing the best products and services to customers.

Additionally, the Group has been designing and manufacturing pre-insulated, prefabricated systems for aboveground, underground, cooling/heating and process piping since 1983. It produces high-quality pre-insulated pipes and HDPE products customized to meet the unique requirements of each individual customer as closely as possible. The Group also provides its customers with on-site technical assistance and installation supervision.

In addition, the Group maintains advanced in-house capabilities to perform computerized stress analysis using specialized software. This analysis determines the stresses in the carrier steel pipe; detects any axial movement, which will provide data for the anchor design; and indicates whether the expansion joints are needed.

The Group’s high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes can be utilized in various applications, including wastewater systems, irrigation systems, gas pipeline systems, lining and relining and potable water systems.
