Jassem Al Shikar

CEO & Vice Chariman

Our founder and chairman Abu Jassem travelled to the Philippines back in the early 80’s, on a mission to purchase organic fiber ropes known as Manila ropes, distinguished of their natural composition of selective trees known for its strength, flexibility, durability. Manila ropes were significantly unique by their buoyancy in water, had significant appeal for trading with the Emirati fishermen and boat owners in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.

This is an example of our commitment to values and traditions in supporting the local communities locally and internationally. Traditional trading remains embedded in our people and organization which we cherish and respect, and aim to spread to everyone around.

A lot has evolved since then, with a noticeable increase in preference towards plastic and synthetic polyesters over naturally manufactured materials.

Since then, we have mastered out expertise in trade and knowledge of fiber ropes and advanced towards delivering premium steel ropes to serve the demand of the immensity of our industries. Our services are tailored in terms of size and shape to fulfill the maritime, oil and gas, construction, and all those seeking quality ropes.

Join us in celebrating our 40 years of offering valuable and high-quality materials that adhere to both local and international standards. A testament to our dedication from our family to yours. Together we are lifting each other for the past 40 years and will continue to share our traditional values.
