In a move that promises to reshape the scaffolding and formwork landscape across the Middle East and beyond, Scafom-rux has announced a strategic partnership with Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork.
Headquartered in Dubai, Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork has established itself as the fastest growing scaffolding and formwork provider in the Middle East and India. In just three years, the company has expanded from a single location in Dubai to 12 strategic locations across 5 countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and India. With a product range of high quality galvanised access equipment and state of the art aluminium formwork and shoring solutions, Kirtanlal has built a reputation for its uncompromising approach to safety, quality and service.
“Our growth has been rapid, controlled and always grounded in quality,” said Charles Edwards, CEO of Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork. “This partnership with Scafom-rux aligns with our commitment to market leading safety, services and product excellence.”
Strengthening regional presence and global ambitions
With our expertise in scaffolding, formwork and shoring solutions and products such as Cuplok and Ringlock scaffolding, the partnership with Kirtanlal is an excellent opportunity for Scafom-rux, to bring our reputation for developing cutting-edge scaffolding, formwork and shoring technologies to the Middle East market.
“This partnership allows us to strengthen our presence in the Middle East and India, while working with a company that shares our commitment to quality and innovation,” commented Paul Grant Operations Director at Scafom-rux Middle East.
For Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork, the partnership with Scafom-rux offers more than just a broader base of product lines. It is the next step in their ambitious global expansion plans. By leveraging Scafom-rux’s extensive expertise and international presence, Kirtanlal aims to further expand its footprint in Europe, the United States and South East Asia.
“Our aspirations are global,” Edwards noted. “With Scafom-rux, we’re not just looking at strengthening our position in the Middle East but expanding into key international markets.”
Kirtanlal’s rapid rise has been underpinned by significant investments in its material fleet, which has grown from US$20 million to over US$100 million in just three years. The company is currently investing over US$ 3 million per month in its rental fleet to meet increasing regional demand and ongoing expansion plans.
John Brocklehurst, Scafom-rux’s Global Business Development Director, highlighted the importance of this commitment to quality. “Kirtanlal’s focus isn’t just on price—it’s about doing things the right way and not cutting corners. That’s why we’re so excited to be partnering with them.”
Through this collaboration, Kirtanlal Scaffolding & Formwork will be able to offer Scafom-rux’s complete product range throughout its operations in the Middle East and India. Customers in these regions will benefit from immediate access to a broader portfolio of scaffolding and formwork products, backed by Kirtanlal’s reputation and existing infrastructure.
“This is a win-win for both companies,” Brocklehurst stated. “We’re combining our core strengths to offer the highest quality solutions in one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.”
