FOUNDED IN
BAHRAIN.
BUILT FOR
AFRICA.
Founded in Bahrain in 2009, Ametal was built around one discipline: heavy steel engineering for energy and industrial clients. The founder, Volkan Tegen, brought 15 years of experience in industrial construction across Turkey, Qatar, and the Gulf.
In 2011, Ametal expanded its operations to Africa, incorporating in South Sudan and beginning what would become 14 years of continuous EPC delivery — from UN peacekeeping infrastructure to private sector commercial developments and marine fabrication on the Nile.
Today, Ametal delivers EPC services for energy infrastructure, marine logistics, and commercial construction projects across East Africa, with a global procurement network and in-house fabrication capability that operates where others won't.
