Set up to provide strategies and solutions for handling the deadly toxic hydrogen sulphide (H2S) gas, Sunbelt was established in Dubai in 1979 when the partners of the original ‘Sunbelt – Lafayette’ legacy business based in the US split up.

Sunbelt enjoyed strong growth in the Middle East for much of the following years and in 1985, was taken over by Maritime Industrial Services (MIS), a well-known jackup rig fabricator.

The Sunbelt business continued to flourish and in 2001 a second operational facility was opened in Kazakhstan. This was followed by the opening of the Qatar facility in 2007 and finally, two further locations were set up in in 2008 in Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

In 2011, following the acquisition of MIS, Sunbelt became part of the Lamprell Group, a London-listed leading provider of fabrication, engineering and contracting services to the offshore and onshore oil & gas and renewable energy industries.

Today, with over 130 employees, Sunbelt’s head office is located in Dubai’s Investment Park with operational centres also in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Iraq servicing mostly the Middle East market.
