- Kuwait Foundry Company (S.A.K.) is a Kuwait-based industrial manufacturing entity primarily engaged in the casting, fabrication, and distribution of ductile iron and gray cast iron products for infrastructure, municipal, sanitary, and waterworks applications. Established in 1973 and headquartered in Kuwait City, Kuwait, the company operates modern foundry and machining facilities that supply public authorities, municipal utilities, civil engineering contractors, and industrial enterprises across Kuwait and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The company's core product and service portfolio comprises municipal and sanitary drainage castings, including heavy-duty and medium-duty manhole covers and frames, storm water gully gratings, surface boxes, channel drain grates, floor drains, roof drains, and cleanouts; potable water and wastewater network components, including ductile iron pipes, flanged and socketed pipe fittings, mechanical joint fittings, wide-range couplings, flange adaptors, dismantling joints, resilient-seated gate valves, check valves, air release valves, and fire hydrants; and custom industrial engineering castings, including machinery parts, pump casings, counterweights, and tailored gray and ductile iron castings engineered in accordance with international standards such as BS EN 124 and ISO 2531. Complementary services include precision pattern making, metallurgical quality testing, CNC machining, and specialized anti-corrosion protective coatings, such as fusion-bonded epoxy and bituminous linings. In recent developments, Kuwait Foundry Company has executed operational and corporate optimization initiatives, modernizing its casting infrastructure through investments in automated molding processes and energy-efficient induction melting systems to support major state-sponsored urban development programs led by Kuwait's Public Authority for Housing Welfare and Ministry of Public Works. In parallel, the company has undertaken balance sheet rationalization and strategic capital allocation measures, while expanding export distribution agreements to capture rising infrastructure demand across neighboring Middle Eastern markets.
