Hot-Dip Galvanizing Expert & Plant Developer
Operations Manager · Plant Developer & Commissioning Engineer · Author
I started my career in hot-dip galvanizing in 2005 as a production engineer — standing on the kettle floor, learning every part of the process from the inside out. That hands-on foundation is what defines everything I have built since.
Over two decades, I have developed, commissioned, and managed galvanizing plants across Egypt and Saudi Arabia, working with facilities of every scale — from compact manual lines to large, fully automated structural plants with 15-metre kettles and closed chemical systems.
Today I manage three galvanizing operations simultaneously, each serving a different market segment: heavy structural steel, medium fabrications, and centrifuge galvanizing for fasteners and small parts. Alongside plant operations, I have spent the past several years writing what I believe is the most complete technical and business reference ever produced for the hot-dip galvanizing industry.
I believe in knowledge that actually works on the floor — not theory disconnected from practice, but engineering insight built from direct operational experience. That is the standard I hold myself to in everything I do.
"The kettle does not care about your theory. It respects only what you understand about the metal, the zinc, and the heat."— Aladdin Mohammed
Every plant I have built or run has sharpened my understanding of what works in practice and what fails under real production pressure.
Studying galvanizing facilities internationally — from European flagship operations to Asian manufacturing scale — has given me a reference point for what world-class looks like.
Full operations management, plant development, and commissioning across multiple facilities in both markets, spanning two decades of continuous production experience.
Plant visits, technology assessments, and knowledge exchange with galvanizers in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East — from Galvallia-standard European facilities to China's largest manufacturing operations.
The only book in the hot-dip galvanizing industry that combines academic foundation, full process expertise, greenfield plant development, and complete business operations in a single volume. Written from direct operational experience — not from a library, but from the kettle floor.
A metallurgy and materials engineering background, reinforced by formal business education and a wide base of professional certifications — the technical depth and management discipline behind every plant I run.
Whether you are looking to discuss galvanizing operations, plant development projects, the book, or technical consulting — I am open to conversations with people who are serious about this industry.
