Al Muqarram Industry

What Al Muqarram Industry does

Al Muqarram Industry L.L.C. is a UAE-based private manufacturer of construction chemicals established in 1999, operating from two production facilities in Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain and a trading office in Dubai. The company manufactures sealants, polyurethane foam, adhesives, specialty tapes, waterproofing coatings, and aerosol spray paints under the Dolphin brand, with sub-brands HI Stick (industrial tapes) and Power Bond (epoxy adhesives). Its technology approach combines European formulation expertise with local UAE manufacturing, producing 200+ SKUs across categories including acetoxy and neutral-cure silicone sealants, fire-stop sealants, RTV high-temperature sealants, acrylic and polyurethane sealants, contact adhesives, CPVC/UPVC cements, PU foam (straw, gun-grade, fire-retardant), aluminum foil and duct tapes, and bituminous and acrylic waterproofing coatings.

The company generates revenue through B2B hardware sales of these construction-chemical products, distributing through 32+ distribution networks across the Middle East and Africa region with a primary focus on the GCC. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, consistent with a project-driven B2B model serving contractors, dealers, and distributors. Its customer base spans construction (primary), door and window fabrication, HVAC ductwork, sanitary and plumbing, and automotive care. Marketing is conducted through a multi-channel mix including LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, the Dolphin Learning Centre content platform, email newsletters, and trade shows such as 'Make it in the Emirates.'

The company is organized through three UAE LLC entities (Al Muqarram Industry L.L.C., Al Muqarram Insulation Material Industry L.L.C., and Al Muqarram Trading Co. L.L.C.), is privately held with no disclosed external investors or public listing, and shows a corporate-level relationship with Soudal Group via a shared careers portal. The company employs 300+ people and has emphasized sustainability initiatives including polystyrene-free packaging and removal of CRM substances from formulations.
