What CGC does

Combined Group Contracting Company (CGC) is a Kuwaiti-headquartered construction and infrastructure contractor established in 1965 and publicly listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange since 2006. The company operates across six core service lines — roads and maintenance, residential housing, oil and gas infrastructure, water and energy projects, buildings and construction, and highways — serving primarily government ministries, public works authorities, and major oil companies across the GCC and MENA regions. CGC maintains 11 branch offices across Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Iraq, supported by 13+ wholly-owned subsidiaries, and is led by the Al Marouf family with Chairman Abdul Rahman Mousa Al Marouf and CEO Suliman Abdulrahman Al Marouf.

The company is vertically integrated through company-owned service centers, including asphalt plants with 440 tons/hour capacity, ready-mix concrete batching plants at 160 cubic meters/hour, and a heavy equipment fleet that supplies internal projects and reduces supply-chain dependency. CGC holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and has deployed an SAP ERP system that was awarded best-in-category in the MENA and EMEA regions. Specialized divisions include micro-tunneling for underground infrastructure and CCTV-based infrastructure monitoring. A wholly-owned software subsidiary (Combined Technology for Design and Programming of Special Software) provides internal IT capability.

CGC's revenue model is project-based, generated through competitive tendering on public-sector and enterprise contracts. FY2023 revenue was approximately 173 million KD (~$562M), an 11.88% increase from 154.67 million KD in FY2022, with total profit of ~20.14 million KD. The company reports a current project portfolio valued at ~$640M, anchored by clients including Kuwait Oil Company (with $252M in flowline and infrastructure contracts), the US Army Corps of Engineers, and various Kuwaiti ministries. In January 2026, CGC transitioned to the Premier Market of the Kuwait Stock Exchange, reflecting upgraded market standing.
