About Us
We are the exclusive distributor of RITEC International (UK)'s products for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These specialty chemical products are unlike anything else in the Kingdom and serve a very important need for projects here. Due to the harsh climate and rate of growth, we here in Saudi have a problem, dust. Dust is everywhere and it is more than an eyesore or an annoyance. It can cause damage to your surfaces like glass and aluminum cladding during construction and add to your maintenance costs once building is complete. We have a solution to that problem.
​
Dust also accumulates on solar panels, and voltage insulators, causing performance inefficiency. We can help with that too.
Whether it be glass, ceramic, aluminum cladding or stainless steel, we are in the surface protection, renovation, and maintenance business. Our systems when applied are proven to extend the life of your glass and other surfaces, and reduce ongoing maintenance costs by up to 50%. This has been proven on both new and existing construction.
Our Systems not only add value and beauty to buildings and architectural projects, but they also enhance visibility on mega-yachts, cruise ships, and other marine vessels and have been proven to increase productivity on solar panels in scientific studies. They have also been tested on offshore oil drilling platforms in some of the harshest conditions.
​
We actively seek strategic partners in the window cleaning, and glass manufacturing fields.
We believe in keeping Saudi Arabia beautiful and stand in lock-step with the values of Vision2030 to see Saudi reach its full potential.

Our History
​
Since 2013, MontAlfa Construction Establishment has been RITEC's official Marketing Partner for Saudi Arabia. In addition to being the exclusive distributor for all RITEC products in the Kingdom, MontAlfa is licensed to supply and provide training and technical support of the RITEC Systems in the region, including the ClearShield Eco-Systemâ„¢.
About RITEC and ClearShieldâ„¢
The story of ClearShieldâ„¢ began in 1981, when Stephen and Karen Byers investigated the potential for low-maintenance glass. They subsequently acquired rights to new technology for glass surface protection. Extensive research and improvements to the original formula followed, and the technology was branded 'ClearShield'.
In 1987, RITEC International Limited was formed by Stephen and Karen Byers. For over 40 years, the company developed the market for glass surface protection in the flat glass industry, effectively leading the industry and gaining immense field experience with its high quality technology, the ClearShield Systemâ„¢.
RITEC’s ClearShield™ 'non-stick' glass has gained wide recognition and acceptance in the processing of glass as the industry and end-users of glass have become increasingly aware of the need to protect glass so that it keeps its promise of clarity, visibility and cleanliness over time.
Committed to product development and innovation, RITEC has not only built on its expertise for the protection of glass but also developed a fully integrated system for the renovation, protection and maintenance of glass. Its range of quality products provides solutions to all glass users, whether applied in the factory or on-site.
The latest development is the ClearShield Eco-Systemâ„¢ which is powered by the next generation ClearShieldâ„¢ that incorporates further improvements in performance and durability.
Today, hundreds of glass processors and fabricators worldwide enjoy the benefits of the ClearShield Eco-Systemâ„¢ in a wide range of applications including architectural, decorative, shower enclosure, marine, railway and residential glass.
The performance of multi- award-winning ClearShieldâ„¢ is now well recognized by the industry, and has proven results based not only on laboratory tests but more importantly on years of experience.
Because of the worldwide demand for surface protection technologies, RITEC has an extensive network of marketing partners globally offering RITEC products.
RITEC’s expertise has allowed the company to develop technologies for the renovation, protection and maintenance of other surfaces. This includes the Ritecoat System™ for metals and powder coat surfaces, the VoltShield System™ for ceramic electrical insulators, SE-550 Silicone Eater and Ritepolish, a versatile surface cleaner.
