Meet the Associate | ACIK Stories: Allied Group in Kazakhstan
“If it’s made of steel, we can make it”: a statement that perfectly captures the identity and expertise of Allied Group, a valued ACIK associate and a global leader in the energy sector.
Allied Group is a top-tier industrial company and an international reference in energy, including nuclear, oil & gas, conventional, hydro, wind and renewables. It acts as an integrated supplier of pipes, fittings, bends, cladded and specialty items, covering the full value chain: upstream, midstream and downstream.
Founded in 2000 by Valter Alberici and Marc Herzstein, the Group was built to be a strategic and complete partner for its clients. Today, it is one of the world’s leading manufacturers, thanks to a clear, forward-thinking vision.
Its industrial excellence is based on deliberate and consistent choices, like the exclusive use of European materials, ensuring traceability, quality and reliability.
“Identity over profit,” said Alberici, expressing a philosophy that values long-term industrial integrity over short-term gain.
A unique element is the complex organizational structure, shaped by a targeted acquisition strategy. Allied is known for its ability to revive struggling companies, enhancing their skills, know-how and workforce, while avoiding fragmentation.
“We acquire companies in critical phases to relaunch them, preserving their legacy and human capital, without starting from scratch,” Alberici said.
This integration enables Allied not only to give new opportunities to acquired companies but also to strengthen its internal competencies and broaden its product portfolio, ensuring greater speed, flexibility and tailored solutions.
All stages of production are managed in-house and synergistically: manufacturing, warehousing, sales, distribution, stock, and machining centers. Allied is thus a highly diversified, flexible and competitive group, ready to respond to global demands.
Its key strengths include diverse production, high specialization, and expertise in steel processing, allowing Allied to perform in demanding environments, thanks to synergy among the group’s companies.
Its international footprint is seen in Kazakhstan, where it’s been present since 2010 through Caspian Allied International in Aktau, operating on 43,000 m² — a strategic hub for major oil & gas projects across the Caspian and Central Asia. From here, Allied aims to expand further, boosting local content and contributing to Kazakhstan’s industrial growth.
Allied Group stands as a model of Italian industrial excellence abroad, combining technical strength, global vision and strategic leadership.
