Alutec began in Doha in 1995 as Aluminium Technology & Auxiliary Industries WLL. From a single operation it grew into one of the most reputed aluminium and glass specialists in MENA.
Today Alutec positions itself as Qatar’s largest aluminium and glazing company. Its core is design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation of bespoke building envelopes and architectural interiors. Offerings include unitized and stick curtain walls, metal façades, roofs and skylights, doors and windows, balustrades, and specialist coatings.
Scale came from investing locally. The company runs multiple factories in Doha with more than 30,000 square metres of production space. Annual capacity reaches about 15,000 tonnes of aluminium, 1,000,000 square metres of glass, and 15,000 tonnes of steel. Vertical integration covers machining, bending, welding, anodizing, PVDF and powder coating, and on-site erection.
Portfolio depth came from landmark work. Alutec lists major districts and towers across Qatar, including Msheireb Downtown in central Doha among many high-profile projects. These references established repeat delivery models and long relationships with developers and global consultants.
The turning point to global recognition was Lusail Plaza. Speira’s case study confirms Alutec as the façade constructor that transformed roughly 3,000 tonnes of marine-grade 5754 aluminium into about 11,000 uniform panels for the four tower ensemble. Sheet sizes reached up to 2,600 mm by 11,800 mm, which Alutec milled, finished, and assembled in Qatar before sequenced site installation.
This project ran through COVID. Localized production, integrated finishing lines, and tightly planned logistics kept the façade program moving while many global sites slowed. The result now anchors a 1.1-million-square-metre business district in Lusail City and signals the firm’s ability to deliver at international scale.
Alutec’s trajectory is straightforward. Start local. Build capacity. Control the value chain. Execute at the level of world-class architects and contractors. Three decades after 1995, the company is not only shaping Doha’s skyline. It exports a Qatari model of integrated façade delivery to the global stage.
