ALUPCO, a leading building solutions provider in Saudi Arabia, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Bahrain-based Al Hilal Stonework (AHS) to provide specialist stonework services for projects across the kingdom.
The partnership combines ALUPCO’s more than 50 years of experience in aluminium and building solutions and its local market network with AHS’s four decades of expertise in stone, marble and terrazzo works, including specialist fabrication and installation.
The agreement was signed at ALUPCO’s head office in Dammam by Khaled Abdelmoneim, CEO of ALUPCO, and Abdulla Rashed Hilal Isa, Director of AHS, in the presence of Christopher Core, AHS’ Group Business Development Executive.
At the occasion, Abdelmoneim said: “ALUPCO is transforming into an integrated solutions provider, bringing together a comprehensive range of building solutions under one hub, including fit-out solutions and stonework services. Our strategic partnership with Al Hilal Stonework is an important step in this transformation, enabling us to provide our customers with broader, integrated capabilities and greater value. Through this partnership, we are strengthening our contribution to the kingdom’s ambitious development journey and supporting projects aligned with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.”

The partnership comes as Saudi Arabia continues to witness significant investment in real estate, hospitality and infrastructure development, creating growing demand for specialist building and finishing solutions that combine design, quality and execution.
