The Beginning
Around the time when the leaders of the seven emirates came together to form what is today considered one of the most ambitious and accomplished nations in the world, three brothers — united by a love for their homeland and equipped with drive and determination — launched the Bin Hamoodah Group in Abu Dhabi.
Founded in 1967 as Bin Hamoodah Trading and General Services, the company was established as a pioneering platform at the heart of Abu Dhabi's transformation. Working closely with Abu Dhabi's leadership to deliver on the emirate's full potential, the brothers built their vision on timeless values of honesty, integrity, and respect.
As the UAE progressed over the years — achieving one milestone after another — so did Bin Hamoodah Group, bearing witness to the birth of a legacy that has evolved into the global city Abu Dhabi is today.

Securing the Family Legacy
In 2008, a strategic decision was made to ensure the continuity of the Bin Hamoodah legacy for generations to come. The ownership was transferred to three Family Holding Companies.
- Ghanem Ali Bin Hamooda & Sons LLC
- Hamooda Sons Holding LLC
- Faraj Bin Hamoodah Holding LLC
This restructuring ensured proper governance while maintaining the family values and business principles that have driven our success.
