Ail Industries Co. Ltd.

AIL started its life as a small jobbing foundry in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in 1979 under the umbrella of Aluminium and Light Industries Company (ALICO) occupying the same building until 1983.



In 1983, it initiated its expansion by entering the field of Cathodic protection as a joint venture between Impalloy of UnitedKingdom and GIBCA Group of Companies, one of the largest manufacturing and trading groups in the United Arab Emirates. ALICO Industries is a subsidiary of GIBCA Group of Companies.



In 1985, it became a wholly owned GIBCA company.



As the company grew it started to broaden its product portfolio. We started the Cast Aluminium, Brass and Bronze with decorative design for Gates, Fences, Screens, and Lighting Fixtures.



Since those early days, the company has become the largest non-ferrous specialist foundry in the Middle East region. ALICO was awarded the EN ISO 9001-2000 certification dated December 22, 2003, for design, manufacture, supply and installation of cast products in aluminium and alloys for architectural, lighting, and industrial applications as well as sacrificial anodes system in aluminium and zinc alloys for sub-sea structures and vessels for the offshore and marine industries.



As an addition to its range, the company has developed and manufactures a series of Duct Markers and Aluminium Reflective Roads Studs with a unique BAKLOK reflector and anti-twist shank.



In December 2007, ALICO Industries Company Limited changed its name to AIL Industries Company Limited. In January 2008,AIL relocated its offices and foundry to a new 18 000 m purpose built facility in Industrical Area 13. The new factory has benefited from major capital invenstment, including new furnaces and machinery which will enable AIL to maintain its position as the premiere aluminium foundry in the Gulf.
