Interplast Company Ltd., founded in 1981 in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, stands among the Middle East’s largest, longest-established, and most vertically integrated manufacturers of electrical cable management and wiring systems, architectural building cladding, flexible and thermoformed packaging, home-improvement structures, and engineered polymer compounds. Operating as a flagship industrial enterprise of Harwal Group — the region’s largest plastics converter, processing more than 200,000 metric tons of plastics and 20,000 metric tons of metals annually — Interplast supplies major MEP contractors, power utilities, real-estate developers, food processors, and industrial extruders across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.
Originally launched in 1981 to pioneer PVC compounding in the Arabian Gulf under the IP-HARWAL® brand, Interplast rapidly integrated downstream into rigid uPVC conduit and trunking extrusion in 1983–1984, injection-moulded electrical fittings in 1987, expanded factory complexes in 1988 raising compounding capacity beyond 65,000 metric tons per year, and subsequently added high-speed flexible/thermoformed packaging lines as well as its landmark 2005 expansion into ALUPEX® aluminium composite panels and DURAMAX® / DuraMate® architectural building systems.
