Critical Dependencies
Oman's largest diversified business group, grown from a small trading enterprise founded by brothers Suhail and Saud Bahwan at Muttrah in 1965 into more than 40 companies with over 7,000 employees across Oman, the wider Gulf, North Africa and South Asia. Its portfolio spans automotive, fertilizers and petrochemicals (including a fertilizer plant producing roughly 1.3 million tonnes per year of granular urea), engineering and construction, operation and maintenance of desalination and power plants, ICT and telecoms, healthcare, logistics, and consumer products, including a joint-venture engineering company with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. In 2002 Suhail Bahwan split the original joint business with his brother Saud, retaining electronics, IT, fertilizers and industrial interests while Saud kept the automotive/Toyota dealership.
