From Aleppo in 1952 to the GESSO relaunch in 2026.
Mihran Co. is a family-owned company founded and headquartered in Aleppo, Syria. Its work spans industrial products, construction materials and practical services shaped around customer needs.
Industrial experience with a practical purpose.
Since 1952, Mihran Co. has devoted its experience to industrial products, construction materials and services that respond to real customer needs.
The company combines family ownership with long-term manufacturing knowledge, disciplined production and a close understanding of the Syrian construction market.
Perlite production expands the company’s expertise.
Perlite is a versatile mineral used across many fields, especially construction. Its thermal and acoustic insulating properties, light weight and fire performance became an important foundation for later GESSO formulations.
A story built over generations
Mihran Co. is founded in Aleppo as a family-owned company serving industrial and construction-material needs.
The company opens its perlite production line, expanding its expertise in thermal, acoustic and fire-resistant construction materials.
Drawing on almost 60 years of manufacturing experience, Mihran Co. launches GESSO to an immediately enthusiastic market response. Despite the successful start, the circumstances at the time led production to pause in 2012.
GESSO relaunches with five focused products and a renewed commitment to consistent quality, efficient work and dependable service.
Loved by the market. Paused in 2012. Returning in 2026.
In 2011, Mihran Co. used almost 60 years of manufacturing expertise to launch GESSO: a comprehensive gypsum-based plaster range for interior use, produced with modern technology, laboratory testing and European standards. It was the first production line of its kind in Syria.
Customers and applicators responded very positively during the first three months. The circumstances at the time then led production to pause in 2012, leaving a successful beginning unfinished.
In 2026, GESSO is relaunching. The same belief in efficient construction, dependable quality and practical products now begins a new chapter.
The advantages that first won the market.
