Al Kout Industrial Projects Co

What Al Kout Industrial Projects Co does

Al Kout Industrial Projects Co is a Kuwait-based, publicly listed industrial chemicals manufacturer (KSE:ALKOUT) founded in 1993 and headquartered in Sharq, Hawalli. The company produces a focused portfolio of commodity and specialty chemicals: hydrogen gas, salt, oilfield chemicals, and chlorine products. These product lines are characteristic of a chlor-alkali and brine-processing operation that supplies inputs to the regional oil & gas sector and other industrial customers within Kuwait.

The company operates a single-site, mid-scale industrial footprint with a headcount of 101-250 employees, consistent with a domestic champion in a niche chemical category rather than a regional or global exporter. No product-level technical details, proprietary process technology, certifications, or R&D disclosures were available in the input, and the corporate website is a placeholder verification page. No distribution channel, pricing model, or customer-segment data is disclosed. Management is listed under two CEO designations (Faisal Mallallah and Basile Toutoungi), which may reflect a leadership transition, role split, or a data-quality artifact that warrants confirmation.

Financially, the only verified current datapoint is a Q4 profit of 1.7 million Kuwaiti dinars reported in March 2026, indicating active operations and ongoing public-company disclosure. The multi-year financial table provided in the input is corrupted by apparent unit-magnification errors and cannot be relied upon. The revenue model is B2B industrial sales of bulk chemicals, with no disclosed pricing structure, customer mix, or geographic split, leaving the company's commercial mechanics largely opaque to outside observers.
