Kirby Building Systems India (part of Alghanim Industries, Kuwait)
recently held an inauguration ceremony for its newest Kirby plant, a pre-
engineered steel manufacturing facility in Halol, Gujarat. The latest
addition is the third Kirby Building Systems plant in India, and its seventh
globally.
The new pre-engineered steel building (PEB) manufacturing plant
furthers Kirby’s longstanding position as a market leader in India, which
proved a pioneering ground for Kirby India’s industrial innovations for
more than 20 years. Alghanim Industries Executive Chairman, Sir
Kutayba Y Alghanim, along with Alghanim Industries and Kirby India
executives, commemorated the inauguration of the new state-of-the-art
Halol, Gujarat plant, which took place on February 22, 2023.
With an initial annual production capacity of 50,000 metric tonne that is
expandable to 100,000 metric tonne, the new Gujarat plant bolsters the
existing 200,000 metric tonne capacity of the Hyderabad and Haridwar
plants. Spread over an area of 114,000 sq m, Kirby’s Gujarat facility will
additionally be home to hundreds of new jobs created both directly and
indirectly with the local economy.
The new plant enjoys a variety of sustainable features such as high air
changes protecting the welfare of workers; solar-powered LED lighting,
roofing with high solar reflectivity index, maintaining the plant's eco-
friendly functions; water harvesting that bolster's the plant's self-
sustainability; and many more features that make it Kirby’s most
environmentally sophisticated manufacturing facility yet, meeting to the
highest standards of Green Building ratings. This plant is awarded with
Platinum Rated Green Factory Building by Indian Green Building Council
(IGBC). This is the first PEB facility in India to achieve the highest
Platinum rating.

Commenting on the recent opening, Sir Kutayba Alghanim, Executive
Chairman of Alghanim Industries noted, “Kirby’s success story is one we
are very proud of at Alghanim Industries. When we introduced the
concept of pre-engineered steel buildings, first in the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region and then to the Indian subcontinent, the
company was a small but ambitious steel building business looking to
change the way we think about construction. Today, with the significant
growth in different market sectors, Pre-engineered buildings have
become the need of the hour to fulfil space demand. We are grateful for
the support of our customers who have been and remain at the heart of
everything we do.�
Kirby Building Systems is credited for a comprehensive range of
infrastructures setup across India, its surrounding region, and across the
Middle East and North Africa as well, with growing reach throughout
Southeast Asia and Western Africa. The company’s journey to the global
stage of pre-engineered steel building pioneers was paved with constant
innovation, expanding into markets with its environmentally conscious
and fully recyclable steel.
Head of Kirby India and Kirby International, D Raju, noted, “We are
proud to enter the highly industrialized Western market with our new
Kirby facility in Gujarat. This addition to our global network reflects our
commitment to be closer to our customers in the region and fulfil their
requirements with our cost effective and innovative PEB solutions with
excellence.�
