The brothers Abdulrahman and Mohammed Al Abdulaziz Al Shalan lost their father at an early age and were soon fending for themselves, securing income for their family. By 1951, they had established a family company for importing foodstuff. Sheikh Abdulrahman Al Abdulaziz Al Shalan passed away (may Allah have mercy on his soul) in 1416 AH after a long and successful career. Thereafter, his brother and life-long companion, Sheikh Mohammed Al Abdulaziz Al Shalan carried on the responsibility of their success, both, as Chairman of the Board and Director General. In 1438 AH, Sheikh Mohammed Al Abdulaziz Al Shalan passed away (may Allah have mercy on his soul), to be succeeded by his son, Sheikh Mishal Mohammed Abdulaziz Al Shalan.
Now, 70 years on, we are proud to continue carrying the precious family values that the company was founded upon and capitalize on the success that we have been endowed with. It is with these values that the second generation will continue to lead the company, whilst embracing the latest tools and technologies that will enable it to carry on with the torch of success.
