Hira Industries
Company was founded in the UAE by Ramesh Hira
Employees, 14 production facilities and 35 offices
In 1980, a small trading business was born in a humble warehouse in Sharjah, founded on the distribution of HVACR products like pipe supports and adhesive tapes. This marked the beginning of a journey that would span over four decades, transforming from a modest trading entity into a powerhouse of manufacturing building products. Today, the company operates 14 production facilities across three countries and maintains a strong global presence with 35 sales offices, employing over 1,500 dedicated individuals. This remarkable evolution stems from the visionary insights of founder Ramesh Hira, who was drawn to the UAE for its strategic location, business-friendly environment, and robust infrastructure. The early challenges of understanding local market dynamics and establishing a firm presence were overcome through strategic planning and Ramesh Hira’s leadership. The lessons learned during these foundational years, particularly the importance of adaptability and strategic positioning, have continuously shaped the company’s approach to business and innovation.
