Engineering Excellence Through the Power of People and Materials.

More than three decades ago, I arrived in Dubai as a young engineer, inspired by possibility. The city was in the early stages of an ambitious transformation—expanding its ports, investing in infrastructure, and establishing itself as a regional hub for trade and industry. After earning my bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Polytechnique Montréal in Canada and advancing my education with an MBA from the American University in Dubai, I was inspired by the dynamic energy of a place where bold ideas take root and progress is built from the ground up.

My journey with SFG Composites—formerly known as Solico Fiberglass Factory—began with a simple conviction:

Advanced composites can transform industries, but it takes dedicated people to truly make a difference.

Precision-Engineered Solutions

Composites fascinated me from the start—not just for their technical strengths like lightweight durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion, but for their potential to solve real-world challenges. At SFG Composites, we harness these qualities to deliver precision-engineered solutions for sectors as diverse as mobility, marine, electrical, infrastructure, and high-performance consumer goods.

Composites With Purpose

We are passionate about composite manufacturing because it allows us to turn ambitious ideas into reality. Whether we’re creating custom solutions for complex infrastructure projects or crafting lightweight components for high-performance vehicles, we are solving tough challenges every day. This work goes beyond manufacturing—it’s about enabling meaningful progress for our clients and shaping a more resilient, sustainable future.

People First

Yet, when I reflect on what makes me most proud, it isn’t just the innovation in our products. It’s the people behind them. Today, our team is over 700 strong, representing the diverse talent of the region and beyond. Their wide-ranging experiences, cultures, and perspectives bring strength to our problem-solving and creativity. Many have grown with us over decades, forming the backbone of our operations. We’ve built a culture that values collaboration, diversity of thought, and a shared sense of purpose. At SFG, every individual’s contribution matters—and together, we achieve what none of us could do alone.

Empowerment That Drives Progress

We believe that excellence comes from investing in our people—fostering an environment where they are empowered, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our dedication to craftsmanship, teamwork, and continuous improvement is at the heart of everything we do. This family-like spirit is what drives our relentless pursuit of quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. It’s also what enables us to make a lasting impact across the industries we serve.

A Call to Collaborate

If you share our passion for pushing boundaries and believe in the power of teamwork to engineer a better tomorrow, I invite you to connect with us. At SFG Composites, we don’t just build parts—we build trust, opportunity, and a legacy of progress.

Because when people come together with purpose and heart, there are no limits to what we can achieve.
