Our History
The Beginnings
With the clear vision of creating an entrepreneurial legacy, Mr. Abdullah Saleh Al Mulla, the then Secretary of State of Kuwait, started a business trading in electrical appliances in downtown Kuwait City. With his keen business acumen, he was able to forge strong partnerships and utilize opportunities to create a network with reputed international brands. This determination paid off when he acquired the rights for General Electric in Kuwait.
Since the company’s inception, Al Mulla Group has stood for unrivaled quality above all. This stemmed from the founder Mr. Al Mulla’s belief in enduring partnerships that stood the test of time. He believed that every successful business is built on mutual trust and respect and that excellence and professionalism were key components of keeping pace with growth.
Even today, these principles form the pillars of Al Mulla’s Groups business operations. read more
