Creative Business Solutions & Technology, Abu Dawood
In 1935, Sheikh Ismail Ali Abudawood founded a small wholesale business in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.cOriginally known as the Ismail Ali Abudawood Trading Company Limited (IATCO), the company has grown into one of the world's most respected brand partners.
Abudawood began by wholesaling a variety of consumer goods to retailers throughout Saudi Arabia. The company's success with distributing products imported from Procter & Gamble, the highly respected U.S. consumer goods company, contributed to Abudawood's development.
Abudawood is now part of a privately owned conglomerate with business interests in three primary arenas:
- Providing localized market management, sales, marketing, merchandising and logistics services to companies such as Procter & Gamble, Quaker Oats, Ferrero-Rocher and Pepsi throughout the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf regions.
- Manufacturing of consumer goods, through a joint-venture partnership with Procter & Gamble in Saudi Arabia.
- Investing in quality real estate and financial instruments in the United States of America, United Kingdom and elsewhere around the world.
