To support its activities throughout the Middle East, Kharafi National has operational centers in the UAE, Egypt and Lebanon.
The United Arab Emirates
Kharafi National has been active in the United Arab Emirates since 1995 when Kharafi National – Dubai was founded. Kharafi National– Abu Dhabi was established a year later. Both companies operate as stand-alone entities and are highly regarded in the UAE for their skills in building services, engineering, procurement and construction management, environmental and infrastructure, and facilities management.
Kharafi National quickly established its reputation in the UAE as a specialized high-end MEP contractor with the execution of several key projects. In 2000, the company entered the district cooling sector and is now a repeat contractor with Dubai Civil Aviation as well as with local developers such as Al Qudra.
As the region develops, Kharafi National expects the need for enhanced infrastructure to increase tremendously, providing very challenging opportunities in BOT, BOO and PPP projects where the company can distinguish itself through higher efficiency and the implementation of advanced technologies in partnership with international technology providers.
Kharafi National is currently undertaking the EPC work of a BOT project awarded in 2007 by Abu Dhabi Municipality to Emirates Company Holding (EUCH) in which the Kharafi Group detains 40% of the shares, for the management and disposal of municipal solid waste in the Greater Abu Dhabi Region and the Western Region and, once the system is operational, Kharafi National will be operating and maintaining the facilities for the duration of EUCH’s 10-year concession. The EUCH consortium was also awarded, in February 2008, the ADWEA Sewerage Treatment BOOT project in Abu Dhabi which comprises the development, design, engineering, procurement, manufacturing, financing, constructing, ownership, operation and maintenance of two sewerage treatment plants, the Wathba plant and the Saad Plant for a period of 25 years.
Egypt
To exploit growing opportunities in the Egyptian and African markets, Kharafi National-Egypt was founded as a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1999. Since then, the KN-Egypt has established itself as a leading mechanical and electrical contractor in Egypt and is extremely active in natural gas conversion projects and the installation of gas distribution networks.
In the commercial and industrial sectors, KN-Egypt has executed a wide range of electro-mechanical and infrastructural projects for the M A Kharafi Group in Marsa Alam and Port Ghalib Resort on the Egyptian Red Sea cost.
In Africa, KN-Egypt is very active in bidding for contracts and has completed the mechanical and electrical works for prestigious projects in Ethiopia and The Gambia.
Lebanon
Kharafi National – Lebanon was established in 2003 to support the Group’s strategy of expanding throughout the Middle East by developing a presence in emerging markets. KN-Lebanon is fast becoming the leading electro-mechanical contractor in Lebanon and has already developed a solid reputation as a Total facilities management services provider in that country.
