Galil Engineering Group

What Galil Engineering Group does

Galil Engineering Group is a private, family-owned engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm founded in 1984 and headquartered in Israel. The group delivers multidisciplinary engineering services across energy, petrochemical, chemical, defense, and general industrial sectors — including pharma, hi-tech, biotech, food, and water — serving both Israeli enterprise clients (Bazan, Paz Ashdod, Dor Chemicals, IDE, Kimberly Clark) and international operators (Sinohydro, Siemens, Saipem, EAPC). Notable executed projects include the 344 MW Kochav HaYarden power station (1B ILS), the KIVU 56 EPC facility in Rwanda (~$40M), and an ammonia plant at Mishor Rotem (~$62.5M).

The firm operates 10+ engineering disciplines in-house and maintains strategic technology partnerships with global process licensors and EPC contractors — Technip, Linde, KBC/Yokogawa, UOP/Honeywell, IFP/Axens, Exxon, and Technimont — which it leverages to bid on licensed process and power tenders. It is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, and was among the first Israeli firms authorized for gas conversion work and to receive the Advanced Manufacturing Institute importer certification. Beyond core EPC delivery, Galil offers Industrial IoT solutions with data analytics and failure prediction, supported by BIM/3D modeling and control automation capabilities.

Revenue mechanics are project-based: multi-year EPC contracts structured around capex milestones for industrial and energy clients, with international subsidiaries in Rwanda, Chile, Romania, and Croatia extending addressable geography beyond Israel. The company employs 251-500 staff, remains family-controlled with no disclosed external funding, and has a 40+ year operating track record.
