The owner of Ralua Pty Ltd is Nesses Nalbandian (Nino), who travelled from Aleppo, Syria when he was 20. Between 1963 and 1964 Nino attained his Trade Certificate as a Fitter, and also attained his 1st Class Machinist Certificate. After working at various jobs, he built his own shed in his backyard in 1968 and bought his first lathe, working full time, evenings and weekends, machining plastic components.

Nino then started his own company Aleppo Light Engineering in 1970, sharing a factory unit in Powells Road, Brookvale.The business grew and Nino moved to a larger factory unit in Grosvenor Place, Brookvale in June 1977 and the business became Aleppo Light Engineering Pty Ltd.

The business grew bigger and in 1983 Nino purchased his own factory at 22 Roger Street, Brookvale.

Aleppo Light Engineering Pty Ltd is the parent company of Ralua Pty Ltd to which the business trades as today.Deisel Pumps and Injectors is a sub company of Ralua Pty Ltd.This company services and supplies Diesel Pumps and Injectors to the automotive industry.
