Dr. Mohamad Kaddaha : The Industrial Strategist Engineering Lebanon’s Manufacturing Renaissance through Science and Resilience

Dr. Mohamad Kaddaha stands at the rare intersection of advanced scientific rigor and executive industrial leadership. As the CEO of ALUMIX, Lebanon’s premier aluminum production complex, he has redefined the role of the modern industrialist by integrating doctoral-level engineering precision with high-level strategic management.

With a profound commitment to national industrial growth, Dr. Kaddaha has successfully navigated complex economic landscapes to establish benchmarks for operational excellence, sustainability, and technological modernization in the manufacturing sector.

Current Leadership: ALUMIX and the Architecture of Stability

As Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kaddaha helms a massive, full-cycle industrial operation that encompasses smelting, extrusion, coating, and finishing. Under his stewardship, ALUMIX has transitioned into a system-based organization where process reliability creates immunity against external market volatility.

His leadership philosophy focuses strictly on internal structure. By enforcing strict governance, creating clear decision-making hierarchies, and implementing advanced standard operating procedures, he has driven the company toward a production capacity of 3,000 tons annually.

“For me, success this year meant continuity, control, and credibility.”

His approach ensures that ALUMIX remains not just a factory, but a pillar of economic resilience and a symbol of Lebanese industrial pride.

Scientific Precision: Bridging Research and Industry

Uniquely qualified with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Université de Technologie de Troyes, Dr. Kaddaha possesses deep technical expertise in composite materials modeling and geometric analysis. This academic foundation allows him to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application.

He leverages this scientific background to drive innovation within the heavy industry sector. His strategies prioritize energy optimization, waste reduction, and the implementation of smart energy systems, ensuring that production efficiency is backed by rigorous data and engineering principles.

International Experience and Operational Mastery

Prior to taking the helm at ALUMIX, Dr. Kaddaha honed his expertise through international project leadership. As Senior Engineering Project Manager at ASTRUM in Côte d’Ivoire, he managed multidisciplinary engineering projects from concept to commissioning, ensuring compliance with international standards across diverse regions.

His rapid ascent through the ranks, including key roles as Plant Manager and Operations Manager, demonstrates a consistent track record of turning around production lines, optimizing workflows, and ensuring safety compliance under ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 frameworks.

Visionary Thought Leadership and National Impact

Dr. Kaddaha views industrial leadership as a mandate for national preservation. He champions the belief that every functioning factory is a statement of faith in the country’s future. His writing and advocacy highlight the necessity of internal structure, transparency, and operational discipline as tools to combat external chaos.

By holding a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science alongside his engineering doctorate, he brings a macroscopic view to industrial strategy, understanding the interplay between economic policy, national stability, and manufacturing output.

Conclusion: A Blueprint for the Future of Industry

Dr. Mohamad Kaddaha represents a new generation of industrial titans who combine academic brilliance with operational grit. At The Global CEO Network, we recognize his unwavering commitment to building self-reliant industries.

He does not wait for stability to arrive. He builds it through systems, science, and strategic fortitude.
