Since the establishment of the United Arab Emirates in 1971, the country has experienced a rapid and sustained pace of development in nearly all walks of life. For the UAE in general and Abu Dhabi in particular, the pace of these structural changes has coincided with its pioneering role as an oil producer and exporter.

In view of the importance of adaptation of modern technology in the country's overall development, Bin Hamoodah Group decided in 1979 to establish a new, 100% local company called Gulf Industrial Services Company (GISCO).

With the passage of time the company has consolidated its operation in various activities such as designing procurement, installation, commissioning and maintenance of numerous projects for the oil and gas Industry, power generation sector, UAE Armed Forces, Etisalat and various other public and private sector organizations.
