HISTORY

The Mannai Corporation celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2000 as one of the largest public trading and services companies in Qatar. From humble beginnings as an auto parts trader established by Mr Ahmed Abdullah Mannai, the Mannai Group grew to encompass activities ranging from offshore rigs to telecommunications, with interests in many parts of the world.

With the growing importance of Qatar's economy, the group refocused its business in 2001 by divesting all its overseas interests and reducing its dependence on cyclical, asset-heavy activities. The goal of restructuring was achieved in 2004 when the trading and services subsidiaries proved their capability of delivering sustainable quality earnings to shareholders. In December 2005, Mannai Corporation became a member of the QIPCO Holding when a majority of its equity was acquired by Qatar Investment & Projects Development Holding Company.

In August 2007 Mannai Corporation became a Public Company and its shares were listed on the Doha Securities Market. QIPCO Holding remains Mannai”s largest shareholder.
