At the core of our company,

lies the force which is our

primary and paramount
strength - our people
Abdul Ghaffar Hussain
Chairman

HEPWORTH PME (LLC) is the

regions premier manufacturer
and supplier of a wide range of
high quality plastic pipes, fittings
and accessories used for the
distribution and transmission
of water, wastewater and gas.
Distributed in Dubai for over
35 years, all products are
represented by a chain of offices
throughout the area.
Hepworth products conform
to the highest of international
standards used in the Middle
East. Our substantial stock
ensures that we are able
to consistently satisfy the
requirements of the industry
professionals we serve.

Corys is now the holding

company for Hepworth PME.
Corys is a brand born from a
strong heritage. For more than
35 years, the Abdul Ghaffar
Hussain family has represented
Hepworth UK and many other
principal partners in the UAE and
broader GCC. Having established
a business of great strength and
prestige, a new era of regional
and international expansion will
commence under a new name
and new identity.

A BRAND OF EXCELLENCE
Corys was the name of the great
Arabian river that Herodotus, the father
of history, wrote about in his famous
work The Histories more than 2000
years ago. He spoke about an ancient
Arabian king who created pipelines
from the skin of beasts and used them
to transport water from the river Corys
deep into the desert. It is that innovative
and pioneering achievement that we
celebrate in selecting our new name.
Corys is now the holding company for
the Hepworth PME, its joint ventures
and all the relationships with principals
represented in the region. This change
marks the beginning of a new brand
structure and will guide the companys
growth over the next few years.
During this transition, Corys will
undertake a major expansion, including
the opening of our new plant in
Dubai Industrial City, and a period of
diversification as we utilize our strengths
to develop new opportunities.
The Corys team recognizes and relishes
the responsibility of ensuring that our
product and service stands up to the
toughest challenges as the company
grows.

The Corys brand is based

on its core commitments
to Durability, Precision
and Care.
