Abdul Muthalif
Established in 2000 by Abdul Muthaliff as a sheet glass & mirror merchant business in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Started as a small scale trading company and eventually grew as one of the few wholesale merchants in the town.
In 2010, Abdul Mujeeb was appointed to spearhead the company and as a result Firo Glass Company was formed. Under Abdul Mujeeb’s leadership Firo Glass Company began to import sheet glass, float glass & mirrors from China and India. For his visionary thinking and risk- tolerance, the firm was upgraded to a Limited Liability Company in 2016 to attract more affluent stakeholders for expansion of company operations and upturn the revenue.
As the company grew it started to manufacture architectural hardware in 2017 for tempered glass installation systems. Simultaneously, supply began for both tempered glass and architectural hardware for residential and commercial projects under brand name “FGC” in 2018. The company experienced a rapid growth in architectural hardware supply and noticed a huge demand in products and services among the Sri Lankan customers. FGC is renowned for its’ high quality products and is the one of the few registered brands for construction hardware products in Sri Lanka.
In 2020, FGC Design Studio, the interior design unit was added as a function to offer a value-added service for customers to visualize the final outcome of the installation before it can be actually built-in. This service was delivered for tempered glass installations and modern architectural projects for renowned construction companies and developers.
It is indeed a remarkable milestone for both company and customers and equally beneficial to understand customer requirements precisely and mitigate inaccuracies in the early stages of the process. Nevertheless, FGC introduced Design, Build and Fit-out concept for its valued customers by providing all interior design needs under one roof.
Then in 2021, FGC successfully initiated the market development strategy by introducing FGC products and services to its’ first international market, Republic of Maldives. Since then, the FGC brand has become more popular among Maldivian clients in a very short period of time.
The year of 2022 was a significant, yet most challenging one for the company as top management progressed to expand its’ business operations to the MENA region. Consequently, Al Muthalif Group was formed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates under the guidance and leadership of Abdul Mujeeb, and at present being the Head Office for FGC. Al Muthalif group manages the FGC brand for MENA region and has introduced sanitary ware to the product portfolio to serve customers with a wide array of products.
