Initiator of ACPIA, a European registered non-profit initiative focused on public clarity and human safety in Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) cladding systems. The initiative promotes better understanding of: • ACP core technologies (PE, FR, A2, A1) • facade fire safety considerations • testing standards and system evaluation • independent third-party certification • stakeholder accountability in cladding decisions ACPIA connects manufacturers, testing laboratories, certification bodies, authorities, researchers, and industry professionals to encourage safer and more transparent façade practices globally.

Leading Aluminium Composite Panel operations at Alucopanel – Danube Group, Dubai, focusing on facade systems, reaction-to-fire classifications, fire safety compliance, and responsible specification of ACP cladding solutions. Work involves understanding ACP core technologies, reaction-to-fire classifications, facade system components, and alignment with international testing standards and regulatory requirements.

Oversaw technical and commercial development of Aluminium Composite Panel solutions across regional markets, supporting facade system specifications and project execution. Focused on ACP technology understanding, fire safety considerations, and collaboration with architects, consultants, and contractors during project design stages.

Led product development and market expansion for Aluminium Composite Panel cladding systems across the Middle East. Worked closely with specification teams, facade consultants, and project stakeholders to support correct system selection and project implementation.

Managed Aluminium Composite Panel product development, technical documentation, and support for facade system specifications. Contributed to project coordination with architects, consultants, and contractors on ACP cladding applications and system performance considerations.

Handled product coordination and technical support for Aluminium Composite Panel projects, assisting with specifications, product selection, and project requirements. Worked closely with sales teams and project stakeholders to support facade cladding solutions.

Started career in Aluminium Composite Panel industry focusing on project sales and early exposure to facade cladding systems and construction market requirements. Worked with contractors and project teams supporting ACP material selection for facade applications including other building materials.

Joined Falcon Industries in Bahrain, a producer of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) under the Alupobond brand. Worked on product specifications, technical promotion, and regional market development for ACP cladding systems. This experience strengthened my technical and commercial understanding of ACP systems before transitioning to Danube Group in 2010.

Worked on market development for architectural materials including Aluminium Composite Panels (ACP) and uPVC extrusion systems across the Pakistan. This role provided early exposure to façade materials, construction supply chains, and project-based sales in the building materials industry.

Started my career with Lucky Aluminium, a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion profiles and alloys for architectural applications. Worked closely with alloy grading, spectrometer testing, and manufacturing processes, gaining practical knowledge of aluminium compositions and material performance. During this period I was first exposed to Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) through an installation project, which sparked my long-term interest in ACP technology and facade materials.
