Fino International LLC is a privately held interior design, fit-out, and finishing contracting company headquartered in the Jebel Ali Industrial Area of Dubai, UAE. The company specializes in ultra-luxury interior fit-out projects for the hospitality, residential, retail, commercial, healthcare, education, and government sectors across the GCC and East Africa. Its core technical capability is built around vertically integrated in-house manufacturing across four divisions — Fino Joinery, Fino Marble, Fino Metal, and Fino Soft Furnishings — supplemented by GSG Metal Industries for fire-rated hollow metal doors and metal door frames. Together these facilities span over 90,000 square feet in Jebel Ali and enable end-to-end control of core fit-out materials, supported by a professional engineering department and ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications.

The company's revenue model is project-based and professional services-oriented: Fino International acquires contracts through direct enterprise sales, competitive bidding, and tenders for large-scale interior design-and-build projects, with pricing negotiated on a per-project quote basis depending on scope, materials, and specifications. Notable completed and ongoing projects span Atlantis The Royal, The Address Downtown, W Hotel Al Habtoor City, St. Regis Al Habtoor City, Royal Atlantis Resort & Residence, Bab Al Qasr Hotel, Vida Hotel Marina, the Dubai Metro Red and Green Lines (18 stations, completed 2011), the Louvre Museum Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Rashid Library, the Kampala Marriott Hotel in Uganda (targeted 2026 delivery), and government buildings in Qatar.

Revenue model

1. Interior Fit-Out & Construction Services: Fino International generates revenue through direct project-based contracts for interior design and build, fit-out, and finishing works on commercial, hospitality, residential, and infrastructure projects. Revenue is earned through one-time project fees on a per-contract basis, covering design, supply, installation, and project management services. The company also manufactures materials in-house (joinery, marble, metal works, soft furnishings) which are incorporated into its fit-out projects.
2. Specialty Door Manufacturing & Supply (GSG Metal Industries): GSG Metal Industries, an associate company, manufactures and supplies fire-rated steel doors and metal door frames to construction projects. This stream generates revenue through product sales of fire-rated doors, metal door frames, and custom door solutions to third-party construction contractors and fit-out companies.
