THE NATIONAL Company for Mechanical and Electrical Works Ltd (Kharafi National) was formed in 1976, and has since progressed to become the leading mechanical, electrical and instrumentation contractor in Kuwait's industrial and commercial sectors.
Involvement in the oil and gas sector commenced during the end of the 1980's with the installation of pipelines and process plant facilities. In the period since the invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, Kharafi National has re-established itself as the leading contractor in its fields of specialties, and celebrated the successful 25th Anniversary of the company's operations last year.
Now the company says it is set to meet all challenges and has defined its mission, to maintain its pre-eminent role in commercial and industrial contracting, to significantly increase its market share of oil and gas-related projects, and to continue to expand its horizons throughout the Gulf, the Middle East and beyond.
The continuous development of the company's strategy depends on management by foresight through which it focuses on priority objectives and challenge to achieve its selected goals.
Kharafi National has established modern central fabrication workshop facilities. The yard has a total area of 20,000 sq m.
The workshop has been supplied with efficient capabilities to fabricate a high quality structural steel, pressure piping and pressure vessels in full compliance with recognised international Codes and Standards.
Concurrently, Kharafi National has also made significant investments in new construction equipment and employs senior management personnel with extensive experience in the industrial contracting sector.
Additionally, the company has significantly increased its involvement in the oil and gas sector, both inside and outside Kuwait.
The company has extended its operations to the UAE, Egypt, Ethiopia and Qatar, and is now looking at breaking through with contracts in Saudi Arabia.
The company now has, in addition to its corporate Head Office in Kuwait, branch offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cairo and Doha.
Kharafi National says it is proud of the reputation it has gained for on-time project completion.
The work performed by its professional staff has produced satisfied customers, and it is through both its employees and its satisfied customers that the company earns new and repeat construction business.
Kharafi National says it is eager to accept new business challenges and is eager to prove to prospective clients that it has the capabilities and resources to complete the most complex of projects.
