What Hira Industries does

Hira Industries is a Dubai-headquartered, family-owned diversified manufacturing group founded in 1980 by Ramesh Hiranandani and currently led by second-generation shareholders Girish and Manish Hiranandani, with Group CEO Prakash Sarvaiya. The company manufactures building and construction products spanning thermal insulation (closed-cell NBR and XLPE foams under Aerofoam and FlexiCell brands), HVAC accessories (Aeroduct flexible ducts, connectors, vibration isolators), acoustic solutions (Aerosound), fire and smoke containment systems (Aerosafe), engineered rubber components (Rubtech — bridge bearings, marine fenders, impact protection), and specialty adhesive tapes (Diamond Tapes). Two strategic joint ventures extend the portfolio: Hira Walraven (with Walraven Group Netherlands) for pipe support and fixing systems, and Maico Gulf (with Maico Holding Germany) for AMCA-certified ventilation systems. Manufacturing spans 16+ facilities across the UAE, India, Vietnam, and the USA, with a Global R&D Center in Ras Al Khaimah inaugurated in 2024 and an in-house AMCA-accredited airflow and sound testing laboratory established in 2016.

The business operates a B2B enterprise sales model selling primarily one-time product shipments to MEP consultants, contractors, and project specifiers on a quote-based pricing structure tied to project specifications and volume. Distribution combines 30+ direct sales offices across 70+ countries with joint-venture channels for specialized categories, supported by technical services including engineering support, shop drawings, on-site training, and technical seminars. Revenue streams include product sales across all brand categories, OEM/bespoke component solutions for HVAC, automotive, marine, and industrial manufacturers, and technical/professional services. Products carry multi-standard certifications (ISO 9001/14001/45001, ASTM, BS, EN, UL, FM) and align with BREEAM, LEED, ESTIDAMA, and Al Sa'fat green-building frameworks.

Recent strategic emphasis has centered on geographic diversification (Aerofoam USA in South Carolina, 2025; Aerofoam Vietnam, 2022; Diamond Pipe Supports India, 2025), capacity expansion (new 7,450 m² RAKEZ facility with 500,000+ m²/month capacity, 2025/2026), centralized R&D (RAK, 2024), and digital specification tools (Aero-Calc 2.0, February 2026). The company is certified as a Great Place to Work and employs 2,000–2,500+ people across 50+ nationalities.
