Group companies

A group of subsidiaries and joint ventures that complement Alemtiaz services in engineering, logistics, drilling and aviation.

Over the years Alemtiaz has built a group of subsidiaries and joint ventures with local and international partners, giving its customers integrated services that go beyond generator supply to support the oil and gas sector, infrastructure and aviation.

Some of these companies are wholly owned by Alemtiaz, some are companies in which Alemtiaz holds a share of the capital, and others are joint ventures run with specialised international firms. They share one goal: to serve the group’s customers in Kuwait with high standards of quality and safety, and with fast response built on local presence and partner expertise.

The group companies cover engineering, construction and maintenance, logistics and warehousing, drilling rig transportation, oilfield technical services, drilling and workover services, and aviation technical services. A short profile of each company and its activity follows.
