Abdul-Aal Group Holdings, a prominent and major multi-divisional business and venture development company, is looking ahead to a year of steady growth, despite the downturn in the market, bolstered by its five decades of experience in the regional market.

Established in 1951, the company — which is also known as Ali bin Ebrahim Abdul-Aal Group of Companies — has gained a reputation for insight and innovation, and for achieving high-quality results for clients and principals throughout Bahrain and the region, according to a spokesman for the Bahrain-based company.
“The company can execute projects of any dimension and value and work to suit any budget, ensuring high standards of workmanship. Working with professional, multinational companies has undoubtedly honed its skills even further by ensuring that it is kept abreast of all the latest developments in terms of management and technical expertise,” he says.
“Our mission is to be the leading business and venture developers who provide business products and services as well as opportunities by building on our strong foundation of integrity and on our commitment to associates, clients and communities,” says Anwar Ali bin Ebrahim Abdul-Aal, the group's vice chairman. “We are committed to leading the business industry by our innovation, client/customer satisfaction, and financial strength. We are dedicated to the enhancement of our community of which we are a part.”
The company’s extensive portfolio of services covers diverse activities. For the building and construction industry, the group has been providing expert services in general contracting, civil engineering and road construction, major electrical contracting, general trading, manufacturing, aluminium and glass fabrication, building materials trading, automotive supplies, interior design and contracting, real estate services and development.
It also has associated divisions dedicated to transportation and plant hire, equipment hire and logistical support, to name a few. As a result, Abdul-Aal group has become self-reliant in finance, manpower and equipment, says the spokesman.
He continues: “Over the years, Abdul-Aal Group has accomplished a spectrum of projects and can confidently claim to have helped develop and build some of the major developments in the kingdom.
These include multi-storey buildings, airport runways, government offices, shopping and housing complexes, warehouses, palaces and banks, showrooms and numerous retail outlets.
During this time, it has played a key role in the development of a variety of projects, established joint ventures and partnerships, and secured major contracts on behalf of multinational corporations.
“Abdul-Aal Group Holdings brings together business expertise and industry-specific intelligence to offer international manufacturers, exporters, suppliers and service providers bespoke services to help establish and promote their brands, goods and services in new markets. Its core team of professionals have worked at the highest level and understand the issues facing business in the 21st century on both a local and global scale,” he adds.
At the helm of the group is chairman, Ali bin Ebrahim Abdul-Aal, one of the business pioneers in the Arabian Gulf and a well-respected personality amongst the business community since the early 1950s.
Today, he maintains an advisory role at the head of the company. He is ably supported by Anwar, who takes on a more active role in leading the company towards further success and greater achievements.
“They are the backbone of the Abdul-Aal Group and can be proud of what has been achieved. Undoubtedly the humble beginnings of the company of the 1950s bears little resemblance to the conglomerate of today — a local company in the kingdom that has international expertise, a commitment to delivering excellent engineering, construction, interior, trading and commercial services, and other services within its diversified portfolio to the highest levels,” the spokesman concludes.
