Alamal Alsharif Plastics

What Alamal Alsharif Plastics does

Alamal Alsharif Plastics (legal name: Al Amal Al Sharif for Plastic S.A.E.) is an Egyptian joint-stock company founded in 1964 as the first UPVC pipe manufacturer in Egypt and the Middle East. The company designs, manufactures, and supplies a full portfolio of polymer pipe and fitting systems — PVC-N (white drainage), PVC-P (grey pressure), PP-H (drainage/sewerage), PP-R (hot and cold water), CPVC (hot water), HDPE/PE100 (multi-purpose up to 1200 mm), Microduct (telecommunications), valves/accessories, and complementary chemicals (solvent cements, bitumen products, grease) — produced to German, American, European, and Egyptian standards. Manufacturing is anchored by 200,000 sqm of factory footprint, 40 extrusion and 54 injection machines across three factories, and over 70,000 tons of annual production capacity, supported by in-house ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories and ERP systems for operations and CRM. Key products include fiber-reinforced PP-R pipes (Poly Alsharif Fiber) with UV and thermal insulation performance, PP-H dual-layer gasket systems, and accessories in copper alloy and stainless steel.

The company generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of pipes and fittings, plus ancillary technical services (pre-sale consultation, installation verification, and lifetime warranty activation) that drive project attach rates. Pricing is quote-based with no public list, and the business is reached via a dedicated direct sales team working with a nationwide agent and distributor network, direct supply to major infrastructure projects, and export operations covering Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia, and Sudan (representing 30-35% of total sales). The customer base spans five verticals — Construction & Building, Utilities, Irrigation & Agriculture, Transport & Communication (railway, telecom), and Electricity/Petroleum/Energy — with named enterprise customers including Telecom Egypt (15+ year relationship), Thales International, Alstom Egypt, Talaat Moustafa Group, Palm Hills Developments, and Canal Sugar Company. The company holds ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, ISO/IEC 17025, Egyptian Quality Mark, and German-Arab Chamber of Commerce credentials, and is governed by a 9-member board with shareholding split across individual Egyptian shareholders (51.10%), National Investment Bank (29.50%), National Bank of Egypt (11.34%), United Bank (5.25%), Suez Canal Bank (0.50%), and non-Egyptian individuals (2.31%).
