The company owns the CAMELPLEX (FSC certified BS1088-1:2003 compliant) and KORINPLEX plywood sub-brands.

Musandum's business model is a project-based, quote-driven B2B industrial supply and services model. Revenue streams include one-time hardware sales of piping, valves, building materials and storage solutions; exclusive distribution agency fees and margins from international manufacturers including AR Storage Solutions; and professional services revenue from non-destructive testing, chemical cleaning, high pressure water jetting, tank cleaning, heat exchanger maintenance, catalyst change out, and waste water treatment. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via owned offices in each GCC country, targeting end-users, EPCs, fabricators and maintenance contractors. Leadership consists of Chairman Shaikh Salim Said Hamed Al Fanna Al Areimi and Group Director & GM Harjas Duggal; the company does not disclose revenue and operates as a private subsidiary of Galfar Group of Oman with no public ticker.
