Who We Are

The Kanoo Group is one of the largest independent, family-owned group of companies in the Gulf region, a diversified business conglomerate based in the UAE.

By the end of the 1960s, Sheikh Zayed's zealous efforts to develop UAE were much in evidence, unbeknown that a recently established company, The Kanoo Group, would participate in the astronomical growth development of the nation. The founding father established an operation hub in 1967 in the United Arab Emirates after successfully pioneering business operations in other regions— and catapulted The Kanoo Group's presence in the emirate. The Kanoo Group has had various business activities across the world's most dynamic industries since, including shipping, travel, machinery and rentals, energy, cranes, capital services, steel reinforcement, real estate, logistics, specialty chemicals and business centers, and other retail and commercial activities.

Today, The Kanoo Group has unremittingly grown its realm of businesses across industries throughout the Middle East.

The core ethos of the company remains strong and visible. The Kanoo Group’s devotion to their early values, as well as adherence to ethics and beliefs, had indeed made them a powerhouse in the region—boasting a remarkable history in boosting loyalty within team members and industry partners.

The Kanoo Group has been a master of all trades and remains a symbol of innovation, quality, and success. We strive to provide diverse products and services to the highest standards across selected growth markets. This continued leadership results from staying true to our Vision, Mission, and Values.
