What Oman Aluminium Processing Industries does

Oman Aluminium Processing Industries SPC (OAPIL) is an Oman-based aluminium processor that manufactures aluminium and aluminium alloy rods/wires and finished overhead line conductors for the global power transmission supply chain. The company operates a single integrated facility in Sohar Industrial Estate, co-located with its upstream liquid metal supplier (Sohar Aluminium) and adjacent to Sohar Port, with installed capacity of 56,000 tons per year of rods and 22,000 km per year of conductors covering AAC, AAAC, ACSR, ACAR, ACSR/AW, and AACSR types compliant with IEC, BS EN, ASTM, BS, and DIN standards. Revenue is generated through direct enterprise sales to state-owned utilities, grid operators, cable and wire manufacturers, and infrastructure contractors, primarily via project tenders; the company reports exports to more than 40 countries across Africa, Europe, North America, South America, and Asia, with named customers including PDO, DEWA, ADNOC, and DCAP. OAPIL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of publicly listed Oman Cables Industry SAOG (Muscat Stock Exchange), which acquired full ownership in December 2019. Recent strategic focus has been on HTLS conductor capability (with Epsilon Composite and Indore Specialty Materials MOUs in late 2024), green aluminium conductors (MOU with Sohar Aluminium, April 2024), and sustainability credentials (ASI V3.1, ISO 9001/14001/45001, and EPD certifications).
