Chairman’s Message

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

When our founding father, Ghanem bin Saeed Matar Al Suwaidi, may he rest in peace, laid the foundations of this journey, he was building more than businesses: he was instilling authenticity, integrity and perseverance. Guided by these values, our Group was founded in late 1969 in petroleum products supply and vessel chartering to transport oil from international refineries to customers worldwide. We have since developed our maritime fleet and expanded globally into real estate development, construction, education, and financial and service-sector investments. From the outset, we ensured that service to society remained at the heart of our journey, with the establishment of Manar Al Sabeel Quran Karim Keeping Centre.

We believe that true success is measured by the impact we leave on our society and what we build for future generations, rather than the scale of our investments alone. Today, we move forward with a renewed vision, led by talented young Emiratis. We uphold governance and institutional discipline, and confidently explore new opportunities that support the national economy and diversify sources of growth, guided by the vision of our wise leadership.

I thank our partners, customers and team for their trust and contribution to this journey. We ask Allah to grant us success in serving our country and our community.

Saeed Ghanem Al Suwaidi
Chairman
