Client Overview:
Pultron Composites & Mateenbar
Pultron Composites is a global leader in the pultrusion of high-performance composite materials. Under their Mateenbar brand, they manufacture corrosion-resistant GFRP rebar used in major infrastructure projects across the globe.
With operations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, the company needed a way to modernize and unify their quality assessment and production management processes.
The Challenge
Before 2019, Mateenbar used a generic off-the-shelf system to manage quality control and production data. It quickly became clear that the system couldn’t meet the demands of their complex manufacturing processes.
Key pain points:
Limited adaptability – the system didn’t align with factory workflows or industry-specific compliance needs
Fragmented data – information was scattered across spreadsheets, legacy platforms, and physical paperwork
Duplicate effort – staff had to manually copy data between systems, increasing the risk of human error
Manual reporting – generating QA and compliance reports required time-consuming workarounds
Lack of traceability – auditing processes and product history tracking were unreliable and inefficient
Mateenbar needed a better solution – one that was:
Custom-built for their processes
Standardized across all factory locations
Scalable and secure
Designed to reduce errors and automate reporting
Capable of meeting global quality assurance and traceability requirements
Our Approach: Mateenbar QLS
We partnered with Mateenbar to build Mateenbar QLS (Quality and Line System) – a custom platform designed from the ground up to digitize and optimize their full production lifecycle. What started as a project to replicate and improve key features of their old system evolved into a fully integrated digital backbone for their factory operations.
Stage One
Replacing the Old System
The first goal was to replicate and improve the best parts of the off-the-shelf platform, while eliminating its flaws.
What we focused on:
Built a custom digital system tailored to factory operations
Covered all production phases – from raw material mixing to testing finished rebar
Introduced user roles and permission levels for better control (operators, QA engineers, supervisors, admins)
Centralized data input and made it accessible across departments
Automated the generation of shift-level and product-specific reports
Ensured full compliance with industry quality standards
Impact:
Shifted Mateenbar’s QA and production tracking from fragmented spreadsheets and paper to one secure, centralized platform.
Stage Two
Global Expansion and Standardization
After successful implementation in Dubai, the system proved scalable and was adopted in other facilities.
What we improved and extended:
Rolled out the platform to factories in Saudi Arabia and the USA
Standardized data collection and reporting processes across locations
Adapted platform security to meet new corporate-level protocols (e.g. for OC in the US)
Implemented IP-based access – only accessible from factory floors or whitelisted IPs for admins
Provided multi-site management while keeping local compliance in check
Impact:
The platform became the global standard inside Mateenbar factories, helping enforce consistency, traceability, and audit readiness at scale.
Stage Three
Continuous Evolution and Automation
Once core operations were digitalized, Mateenbar began expanding what the system could do.
What we’ve continued building:
Developed Android tablet apps to streamline input directly from the production floor
Integrated with factory machines and HMIs to collect data in real-time
Automated more workflows to reduce manual tasks and human error
Added new reports and features based on feedback from staff and supervisors
Maintained flexibility to support ongoing R&D, process optimization, and tech upgrades
Impact:
Mateenbar QLS evolved into a true factory intelligence system – one that continues to grow with the business, not just support it.
Core Features
Digital input of production and QA data across all manufacturing stages
Role-based permissions for operators, QA staff, and supervisors
IP-based access, with enhanced security layers for multi-site access
Generation of official, standards-compliant QA reports
Centralized database with traceable historical records
Android tablet app for easy input directly on the factory floor
Hosting on Microsoft Azure, leveraging cloud security and scalability
Ongoing enhancements, including direct integrations with factory machines and HMIs
The Impact
Today, Mateenbar QLS is the operational core of the company’s QA and production oversight across three international sites. The platform has:
Eliminated redundant paperwork and manual spreadsheets
Significantly reduced human error and delays in reporting
Streamlined compliance with international standards
Improved traceability and accountability across all production lines
Standardized operations across Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and the USA
Saved countless hours of manual work, enabling staff to focus on value-added tasks
According to the client, QLS is “one of a kind” in their industry – a system tailored so precisely to their needs that no generic product could compete.
A Living Platform
Though the platform is functionally complete, development is ongoing. We continue to work closely with the Mateenbar team, adding new features and automations that push the limits of what’s possible. Whether it’s integrating directly with machines or simplifying audit trails, Mateenbar QLS is built to evolve.
A word from our client:
The Roloway team was very flexible. As it was a continuous development project and there were changes or additions required, the developers and project managers were very involved, they understood the processes behind the scenes to be able to provide the best output. The team is always pro-active and brings suggestions - to avoid unnecessary work and optimizing their work while providing above expected results. This drives to an efficient management of the resources.
The system is used in several plants across the world and we are currently working to increase the capability of it by adding more modules.
We are very pleased and happy with Roloway team on communication, pricing, feed back and fast response to our needs.
