The company produces cable trays, cable ladders, cable trunking, support systems, enclosures, and IT cabinets across multiple material platforms including Hot-Dip Galvanized steel (BS EN 1461), GRP/FRP composites with epoxy/vinylester/polyester matrices, Aluzinc AZ150 coated steel, Pre-Galvanized steel (BS EN 10142/10143), Aluminium 6063 T6, and Stainless Steel (SS304/SS316L). It holds the position of first cable tray manufacturer in Qatar and operates a single manufacturing plant in the New Salwa Industrial Area with 51-100 employees.

The commercial model is B2B project-based sales targeting Qatar's oil and gas, petrochemical, utility, rail, and government infrastructure sectors. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales combined with custom fabrication services, with quote-based pricing per enterprise contract. The customer roster includes Qatar Shell, QAPCO, Qatar Petroleum, Dolphin Energy, QATALUM, KAHRAMAA, Qatar Rail, ASHGHAL, and commercial developers such as Doha Festival City and Marsa Malaz Hotel. The engineering team engages with client design staff from project conception through final turnover, and the fabrication department manufactures to client specifications.

Differentiation is grounded in multi-standard compliance (EN ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, UL certification to NFPA 130 fire rating at 500°C for one hour, BS EN 61537:2007, IEC 61537:2007, NEMA VE-1, NEMA FG-1), proprietary coating and composite technologies, and the Almana Group's domestic Qatar distribution reach combined with Kirac Metal's manufacturing know-how.
