Farjallah Holding

What Farjallah Holding does

Farjallah Holding S.A.L. is a privately held, family-owned mechanical engineering holding company headquartered in Sin el Fil, Lebanon, founded in 1946 by Mr. Antoine Farjallah as "Iceberg" — a metallic furniture factory for refrigerated showcases. The current operating group was shaped by the second generation (Issam and Georges Farjallah), who established Farjallah Trading Company (FTC) in 1975 as an electro-mechanical firm specialized in refrigeration. Today the group operates eight wholly owned subsidiaries across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe — including FTC Qatar, FTC Europe (Greece, 2019), FTC ME (UAE, 2020), FTC Gulf (Saudi Arabia, 2023), Ammonia Cooling Solutions (ACS, 2012), AFRIGEL OUEST (Ivory Coast, 2013), and Building Envelope Solutions (BES, 2017, with Abu Issa Holding) — with a new company-owned GCC Headquarters inaugurated in Qatar in 2023.

The company delivers turnkey engineering across five integrated product verticals: (1) refrigeration and cold storage (commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration, ammonia cooling, cold room assembly); (2) HVAC (air conditioning, exhaust and ventilation, thermal and acoustic insulation, air handling); (3) sustainable developments (renewable energy, energy and heat recovery); (4) building and construction materials (fire-rated materials, insulated panels, hygiene systems, geocellular tanks, heating chimneys); and (5) warehousing solutions (Stow racking, STILL material handling, Loading Systems and Dynaco industrial doors). The technology stack is conventional mechanical engineering augmented by a curated OEM partner ecosystem (Danfoss for valves/controls, STILL for material handling, Stow for racking, Loading Systems and Dynaco for access equipment, Halcor/Elkhart for copper, UNIWELD/SUPCO for tools and instruments).

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (engineering design, turnkey contracting, preventive maintenance, supply chain consultancy with 20+ years of specialist experience) and hardware distribution (equipment, spare parts, components) sold through a direct B2B sales motion and a regional field-office network. The company has 101–250 employees, is not externally funded, and is associated with the Abu Issa Holding partnership in Qatar. No revenue, AI/ML capabilities, or product software stack has been disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• ColdEX Logistics: Emerging cold-chain logistics and refrigeration infrastructure provider with operations across South Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Comparable focus on cold-storage and refrigeration infrastructure in emerging markets, though more asset-operator than MEP contractor.

Regional players

• Voltas Limited: India-headquartered HVAC and refrigeration engineering contractor with MEA project presence. Comparable turnkey mechanical engineering business model serving industrial refrigeration and HVAC projects in emerging markets.
• Leminar Group: UAE-headquartered HVAC distributor and contracting group with premium brand partnerships (Trane, Midea, etc.). Comparable in product-distribution-plus-installation model and in serving the UAE/GCC industrial and commercial cooling market.

Broad incumbents

• Trane Technologies: Global HVAC and refrigeration OEM with established Middle East service and contracting network. Comparable refrigeration and HVAC product portfolio, but operates at vastly larger scale and as an OEM rather than distributor/contractor.
• GEA Group: German industrial refrigeration and cold-chain equipment specialist serving food processing, dairy, and beverage customers globally. Closest comparable to Farjallah's Ammonia Cooling Solutions (ACS) subsidiary and industrial refrigeration segment.
• Zamil Industrial Investment Company: Saudi conglomerate with HVAC manufacturing (Zamil Air Conditioners) plus MEP contracting across the Gulf. Comparable scale, multi-discipline mechanical engineering scope, and GCC-centric project delivery - though Zamil is publicly listed and includes manufacturing depth Farjallah lacks.

Direct peers

• ETA Engineering (ETA Star Group): UAE-based MEP and mechanical engineering contractor with multi-country MENA operations. Comparable turnkey mechanical engineering scope across HVAC, refrigeration, and building services for industrial and commercial clients.
