THE CUSTOMER
National Aluminum Products Company SAOG (NAPCO) was established in 1984 and is one of the leading extruders of aluminum profiles in the GCC market. Located in the Sultanate of Oman, the manufacturing plant spans 62,000 sq meters in the Rusayl Industrial estate.

The company has left its mark on the architectural landscape of the Middle East with its renowned quality products, used in several prominent structures.
