Maalouf Trading & Contracting Sal

What Maalouf Trading & Contracting Sal does

Maalouf Trading & Contracting Sal is a privately held Lebanese engineering and construction firm headquartered in Beirut, operating through two integrated divisions: a Contracting division established in 1978 that delivers general contracting, rehabilitation, restoration, project management, turn-key project execution, and maintenance services, and a Trading division established in 2011 that holds exclusive regional distribution rights for HCPS International's patented parking ventilation systems (50N and 100N induction fans, axial fans, gas detection systems) along with a broader European-sourced HVAC portfolio. The company serves public and institutional clients across healthcare (LAUMC Rizk Hospital, Clinique Du Levant, Quarantina Governmental Hospital, Central Public Health Laboratory), education (Lebanese University, LAU Byblos), government and military (Lebanese Army, multiple municipalities), infrastructure (Beirut & Mount Lebanon Water Establishment, Central Fund of the Displaced), and commercial/real estate developers (ACHRAFIEH 4748, DAMAC Tower, Monteverde 4608).

The trading division's core technology centers on HCPS's patented induction fan architecture developed in 2003, which can reduce the number of jet fans required in a car park ventilation system by up to 50% compared with conventional designs, supporting parking coverage of up to 800 m² per 50N unit and 1,600 m² per 100N unit. The product line extends to axial fans (up to 150,000 m³/h, F300/F400 fire-rated), VAV and CAV terminal boxes compatible with BACnet and LonMark building management systems, centrifugal, in-line, roof, and ATEX fans (SODECA), gas detection networks with multi-level alarms and event logging, and water/wastewater treatment solutions supplied through a 2019 partnership with Italian firm Hidromatic S.R.L. Supporting technical services include CFD-based ventilation design, testing and commissioning, and installation supervision.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracting engagements (professional services) and ventilation product distribution and installation (hardware sales), with pricing structured as quote-based bids for individual tenders rather than published tiers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting project owners, consultants, and municipalities, with 200+ completed projects and 150+ employees supporting both divisions. The company is privately held with no disclosed shareholders, no public listing, and no external funding rounds; geographic operations are concentrated in Lebanon with stated Middle East regional intent.
