In 1938, Abdullah Saleh Al Mulla, then Secretary of State of Kuwait, opened a store for electrical appliances in downtown Kuwait City. As a visionary and outgoing entrepreneur, he looked for opportunities to expand the business and establish a company that has strong partnerships with international brands. Soon he acquired the distribution rights for General Electric in Kuwait. From the very beginning, Mr. Al Mulla’s focus was on quality products and services. He believed that success emanates from enduring partnerships that are built on trust and respect, and that excellence and professionalism in carrying out the operations and dealings of the business are the foundation for its growth. His beliefs still exist as the staunch tenets at the core of everything Al Mulla Group does. Ten years later, the company struck a deal to be the sole distributor for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth automobiles in Kuwait. That was back in 1948 – before the Middle East oil boom – when Kuwait was a very small market, but Mr. Al Mulla saw an opportunity and he seized it. This partnership has grown stronger with the years, embodying our founder’s belief in building enduring partnerships.
