The genesis of trading within the Al-Bader family dates back to the 19th century when Mr. Yousef Abdulmohsen Al-Bader (1800-1880), the patriarch of the family, used the largest commercial fleet of sail ships to trade with India, the Gulf Countries and East Africa. The three siblings of the 4th generation founded the current Al-Bader Company in 1962.
The Company was restructured in 1976 as a General Trading Company and thereafter renamed Al-Bader Trading Co. W.L.L. This company was the nucleus for expansion into various fields of business during the last three decades.
