| As with many trading businesses in the Gulf the Belhasa Group started as a vision of its founder and current Chairman, Dr Ahmed Saif Belhasa. In the mid 60’s Dr Belhasa started his first company, Union Trading Co LLC., which traded in imported used cars and equipment for power projects with other Arab countries. With limited personal resources but with careful planning and direction the company gradually expanded, from trading into construction, then into construction materials and then into services, doing business not only in the UAE but also in various other Arab countries.
As his businesses grew Dr Belhasa added increasingly capable management resources and the management processes that would enable him to continue to build his Group whilst allowing him time to plan for further growth and to travel extensively, looking for products and services that would take root and prosper in Dubai.
Over the years the Group’s companies have undertaken larger and more sophisticated contracts within the construction sector in Dubai , in other Emirates and outside UAE. It is also now importing vehicles from Japan, Korea, China and Europe, exporting goods and services to Iran, Iraq and the Far East, assisting increasing numbers of students in passing their car, bus, truck and industrial plant driving examinations, supplying SMS messages to mobile telephone users and booking tickets and holidays for travellers. Such is the diversity of the Group’s current operations.
The Group has thus contributed to the industrial development of the UAE and, indeed , other Gulf countries and it has also established sea transport, mineral / natural gas and underground water exploration operations .
Today the Group has approximately 4,500 employees, has Representative Offices in a number of overseas countries and has around 20 subsidiary and associate companies. The Group’s management is drawn from the Middle East, from Asia and from a number of European countries: a reflection of the multi-cultural and global nature of its business activities.
The Group’s Holding Company, Belhasa International Co L.L.C., manages its day to day affairs through 4 Business Groupings within the following management structure:
