Galaxy Polystyrene Packaging Systems

What Galaxy Polystyrene Packaging Systems does

Galaxy Polystyrene L.L.C is a Dubai-based manufacturer of expanded polystyrene (EPS), also referred to as thermocol or styrofoam, serving the construction, insulation, packaging, and art & décor industries across the UAE and broader GCC. The company began operations in 2014 and is part of the A J Group of Companies, a diversified UAE conglomerate established over 65 years ago with interests spanning Building, Real Estate, Oil Field Works, Transport, and Industrial sectors. Galaxy Polystyrene operates from a 234,512 sq ft facility in Dubai Industrial City with an annual production capacity of approximately 3,000 tons of EPS products.

The company's product portfolio spans four verticals: construction applications (piling, floor raising, void formers, landscaping, floating pontoons, pool construction, parapet moulds); insulation systems (EIFS, thermal block inserts, geofoam blocks, precast panels, roof and pipe insulation, plus Rockwool, PIR and PUR materials and accessories); packaging (fabricated boxes, chips and beads, packing sheets, customized packing, packing boxes); and art & décor (building decoration, 3D figures and shapes, exhibition/event displays). Manufacturing leverages CNC computer-controlled cutting machinery, with density options ranging from 12 to 60 kg/m³. Products are certified to BS EN 13163, LPC Design Guide, and ASTM standards, and include DCL-certified and LEED-compliant variants for green building specifications.

The business model is direct manufacturer-to-customer with quote-based pricing; custom fabrication is engineered to client specifications, while stock items (inserts, vegetable trays, heater packs) are sold at fixed unit prices with free delivery on UAE orders over 2,000 DHS. Customer engagement is sales-led, with the company responding to enquiries within 24 hours on business days and providing engineer-led consultation on EPS solutions. The company is privately held by the Alasmawi family — Chairman Abdul Jalil Alasmawi, Vice Chairman Abdulla Alasmawi, and Group CEO Mohammed Saleh lead the business — with no disclosed external institutional funding. The company has reported 30% year-on-year growth since inception, with named projects including ICD Brookfield Place, Dubai Harbour, La Mer, Kite Beach Festivities, Dubai Creek Harbour, The Pulse – Dubai South, and Sharjah Aquarium Ferry Station.
