Kirtanlal and Al Masaood partnership set to reshape the Middle East scaffolding sector

Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork has announced a new strategic partnership with Abu Dhabi-based Al Masaood Group, one of the UAE’s most established and respected industrial conglomerates.

The alliance aims to combine Kirtanlal’s specialist scaffolding and formwork capabilities with Al Masaood’s five decades of experience in the oil and gas industry to deliver safer, more efficient, and certified access solutions across major energy projects.

Under the agreement, the two companies will collaborate to provide market-leading engineering solutions and technical support for shutdowns, turnarounds, and maintenance operations.

Their joint offering will target the growing demand for high-quality scaffolding and formwork systems across the region’s industrial and infrastructure sectors.

Kirtanlal, which operates 12 locations across five countries, continues to expand rapidly in global markets following a series of high-profile partnerships, including its alliance with Scafom-Rux announced earlier this year.

The partnership with Al Masaood marks a significant step in strengthening its presence in the Middle East and supporting the UAE’s drive for world-class safety and quality standards in construction and energy projects.

Charles Edwards, CEO of Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork, said on social media the partnership represents “a shared commitment to deliver safe, certified, and innovative access and formwork solutions that meet the demanding requirements of the oil and gas sector.”

Al Masaood, one of Abu Dhabi’s most diverse business groups, has been servicing the oil and gas industry for more than 50 years, providing engineering, logistics, and industrial services across the region.
