What White Aluminium Group does

White Aluminium Group (legal name White Aluminium Enterprises LLC) is a UAE-based, family-owned manufacturer and contractor specializing in the design, fabrication, and installation of architectural aluminium and glass products. Founded in 1973 in Abu Dhabi, the group operates six interconnected divisions: Glass Processing (a 20,000 m2 facility), Architectural Aluminium, Fire Rated, Automation, Commercial Trading, and Kitchen, positioned as a "One Stop Shop" for the facade industry. Equipment is sourced from world-leading suppliers including LISEC, Glaston, Bavelloni, and Bystronic, and the Commercial Trading division holds distribution agreements with international manufacturers such as Schueco, Forster, AGC, Guardian Glass, Saint-Gobain, and Kuraray.

The group serves enterprise and government clients across the UAE and broader Middle East, including iconic projects such as Burj Khalifa, Louvre Abu Dhabi, ADNOC HQ, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, the Presidential Palace, Singapore Sports Hub, and Baku International Airport Presidential Terminal. Its offering spans facade design and engineering, aluminium extrusion, powder coating, glass processing (cutting, tempering, lamination, decorative glazing, solar control), fire-rated and bullet-proof systems, and aluminium kitchen products featuring a proprietary NATURAL wood-finish coating system.

The business model is project-based: revenue is generated through multi-year contracts for design, engineering, manufacturing, supply, and installation of architectural facades, plus a parallel distribution/wholesale stream through the Commercial division. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting construction companies, developers, and government entities. Operations are anchored in Abu Dhabi (ICAD #1 and Musaffah), with a Kitchen Division showroom in Abu Dhabi. The group is privately held by the Doshan family, with Jabr Doshan as Group Chairman & CEO and Mohammed Doshan as Group COO & Managing Director, and no external institutional investors or public listing.
