Our company traces its origin back to 1890 and the founding
of the M.H. Alshaya Company. Originally trading with India,
the company evolved with the development of Kuwait after the
discovery of oil. The roots of the current trading division
were laid in the 1940s when M.H. Alshaya Co. began supplying
business material to the burgeoning construction trade. In the
1950s, Alshaya was one of the first to introduce imported
sanitary ware to the Kuwait market and also expanded into
electrical appliances. The advent of co-operative societies in
Kuwait in the 1970s also saw the company’s expansion into
shelving and refrigeration equipment. At the onset of the
1990s, laundry and bakery equipment were added to the
portfolio of products and services and to ensure its leading
status, the Trading Division became fully computerized using
state-of-the-art technology.
From its humble beginnings in Kuwait, the Alshaya Group and
its Trading Division have grown by leaps and bounds in the
past century and now span 11 countries and numerous industry
sectors, yet still remains a model of a successful
values-based, family-run business.
