Chairman - Suhail Bahwan Group
 
 

With sales of more than US$ 3 Billion, the five-decade-old Suhail Bahwan Group is amongst the leading and most respected business groups of the Middle East. With a footprint spanning the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, the 15000 employees strong Group continues to take rapid strides in expanding into newer areas as well as consolidating its traditional businesses.

The hallmark of the Suhail Bahwan Group has been an ambitious and risk-taking mindset backed up a deeply ingrained professional culture and a value system based on ethics and social responsibility. A business conglomerate in the mould of leading business houses of the world, the Group’s enduring vision is “to build, own and promote world-class businesses internationally”.
The origins of the Group’s businesses can be traced back to ‘trading’ over five decades ago. Soon, it was to take amore organised and corporatised form and before long, the Suhail Bahwan Group began to exclusively represent world’s leading brands and businesses in Oman. The current association with more than 50 leading global brands includes Rolls Royce, BMW, Nissan, Renault, Sony Ericsson, Microsoft, Toshiba, Seiko, Carrier, Cummins, Otis, and a host of others.

While the focus on retailing consumer and industrial goods continues to stand the Group in a good stead at a time when retailing industry world-wide remains a high-growth area, the Group over the decades has moved in step with the Oman’s strategy of diversifying national economic activities so as to reduce overdependence on exploitation of oil based resources. This journey encompasses the Group creating one of the largest engineering and construction companies of Oman, establishing a large capacity structural

steel and pre-engineered-building manufacturing company, investing in fertiliser production that could see the Group emerging as the leading urea manufacturer of the world, and building large real estate projects - all these with footprints in Oman and overseas. Alongside manufacturing investments, the Group continues to aggressively grow in IT and Telecommunication, Critical Infrastructure Security, Travel and Tourism, and Logistics fields where it has created significant base over the past several years. .

The Group’s expansion continues to take place on the back of it’s own investments as well as establishing joint venture with global partners. Sound financial credentials and strong ethical value system of the Group have made it among the most preferred associates of leading Global corporates.
