Our History
The proud legacy of Bahwan International Group
The evolution of a global leader
Tracing its origins to the modest shop within the enclave of the Muttrah Souk in Oman in 1965, the Bahwan International Group today reflects a rich heritage of entrepreneurship and a remarkable journey of growth and success. It was within these humble beginnings that one visionary family embarked on their business journey, engaging in the trade of building materials and fishing nets, forging the foundation for the group's enduring legacy of integrity, commitment, and excellence.
Today, the Bahwan International Group is a multibillion-dollar conglomerate that boasts a large network of national and international brands.
The initial journey
Inspired by the maritime customs of the era, our company set sail on trading expeditions to Western India and the Upper Gulf, starting from our hometown, Sur, an eastern seaport in Oman. These ambitious ventures quickly evolved into valuable trading partnerships with many internationally acclaimed companies during 1968-69.
1970 and beyond
The year 1970 marked a transformative milestone for Oman, ushering in an era of global connectivity and fueling a surge in demand for both industrial and consumer products. During this pivotal period, we successfully acquired prestigious franchises from prominent international manufacturers and service providers.
Today, the Bahwan International Group stands as a diversified conglomerate with interests spanning vital sectors, including integrated engineering and construction, infrastructure projects, telecommunications, home appliances, electronics, food products, furniture, healthcare, shipping, travel, and logistics.
As a forward-thinking organization, we are dedicated to responsible, ethical business practices, emphasizing integrity, transparency, and community engagement. We prioritize the professional development of our team, ensuring a sustainable, brighter future for all.
