AL NASSER HOLDINGS (ANH) was incorporated in 1977. It was the brain-child of Abdulla Nasser Huwaileel who foresaw the need for a soundly based local holding company to serve as a vehicle to develop new schemes and to handle all his diversified investments and interests at home and abroad. ANH was therefore established to participate in the local development program and also to take advantage of the associated business opportunities. ANH’s rapid growth into new fields was achieved by its insistence on excellence in product and service which represented the foundation stone of the Group. The combination of the highest levels of efficiency and a tightly-knit team of professionals resulted in an overall level of service particularly in the petroleum industry, which competitors found difficult to match.
