What Ahmed Mansoor Alaali Co BSC does

Ahmed Mansoor Alaali Co BSC (AMA Group) is a Bahraini diversified industrial conglomerate established in 1954, operating across five divisions: Contracting, Structural & Mechanical Division (SMD), Building Materials, AMA Motors, and AMA Sports. The core revenue driver is the SMD, which manufactures pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pot shells for aluminum smelters, and structural steel through a 32,000+ m² covered fabrication facility with annual capacity exceeding 50,000 tons; this division supplies major regional and international oil & gas, petrochemical, aluminum, and water infrastructure clients including BAPCO, ALBA, ACWA Power, Qatalum, Sohar Aluminium, EMAL, and Rio Tinto Alcan. The contracting division executes civil, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation works for Bahraini government and industrial clients, while Building Materials produces blocks, aggregates, reinforcement steel, scaffolding, and formwork. AMA Motors distributes MAN trucks (with growing share in Bahrain's 16+ ton segment) and CASE construction equipment; AMA Sports distributes PUMA sportswear and Technogym equipment in Bahrain and Qatar; and a 50/50 joint venture with National Express operates Bahrain Public Transport Company under a 10-year government contract.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts with government entities and EPC contractors, hardware sales via dealership and retail networks, and recurring managed-services income from the public transport JV. The group employs approximately 4,000 professionals and is family-controlled, with the founder Ahmed Mansoor Al Aali as Chairman and his sons in operational roles. The company is privately held under the BSC(c) legal structure, holds ISO, OHSAS, and ASME certifications, and exports fabricated products internationally via its own jetty at Askar, with project execution demonstrated across Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, and Canada.
