The year 2005 was decisive for us as the company capital was increased from 2,508,000 K.D to 15,600,000 K.D.  With the completion of increasing the company capital in October of the same year, the company achieved positive results.  The revenues increased from an amount of 477,269 K.D. to 2,409,707 K.D. with an increase of 404% and net profit from 429,397 K.D. to 2,026,484 with an increase amount of 372%.  The company took a strategic step by converting into a specialized industrial company for small sized projects and under the title of the Industrial Company for Light Projects to a holding company with more focus on the industrial and the services sector.

The company expanded its second headquarters in the free zone area and equipped it with the most advanced technology so as to match the current development in the area in the use of communication methods.

Your company dedicated itself to a specific path as well as creating investment department at high level of capable efficiency of developing its projects and creating opportunities and long-term alliances as well as gaining its respect in the local and Arabic market.  The available opportunities has exceeded 120 investment opportunities last year where only 5 of these opportunities were selected in the following sectors: marina transport, service projects, solid wastes, oils and electronics.  These projects were focused in countries such as the State of Kuwait, the Sultanate of Oman, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Arab Republic of Iraq.
