The Group Timeline
A consistent pattern of growth.
Each phase of growth has added structural strength, supporting operations across industries, markets, and economic cycles.
1980s
Foundation in Petroleum
The Group was established in Yemen in the early 1980s, focused on petroleum trading and oil-related activities. During this phase, the Group developed core capabilities in fuel supply, petroleum distribution, and transport operations.
These early activities laid the foundation for what would become a large-scale energy and logistics platform, supported by relationships and operational systems that enabled future expansion.
AROUND 2010
Expansion Into New Sectors
Around 2010, the Group entered a major phase of diversification, expanding into:
- Automotive and heavy equipment
- General trading and industrial supply
- Real estate development
- Infrastructure-related activities
Key companies were established during this period, marking the transition from a single-sector business into a multi-sector enterprise.
2010–2014
Regional Expansion
Following diversification, the Group expanded its geographic footprint, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, which became a key hub for its operations. The establishment of transport and petroleum logistics companies in the UAE strengthened cross-border operational capabilities and connected supply chains across regional markets.
2014-2020
Specialised Capability Development
Between 2014 and 2020, the Group focused on strengthening core sectors and building specialised capabilities:
- Expanded petroleum transport and logistics operations
- Strengthened automotive and heavy equipment business
- Developed infrastructure and contracting capabilities
- Enhanced trading and supply chain operations
2020-2026
Entry Into Maritime and Manufacturing
The Group expanded into maritime logistics and industrial manufacturing. Maritime operations strengthened energy logistics capabilities and enabled participation in petroleum transport across marine routes.
At the same time, the Group entered manufacturing through investments in industrial production, including packaging and agro-industrial projects. This phase marked the shift toward production-based capabilities alongside trading and logistics.
