What Galadari Brothers does

Galadari Brothers Co. L.L.C. is a privately held, family-controlled diversified conglomerate headquartered in Dubai, UAE, founded in 1960 and operating across six business divisions: Heavy Equipment (distribution of Komatsu, JCB, and Kawasaki), Motors (distribution of Mazda, Triumph, Lynk & Co, OMODA & JAECOO, and Moto Morini), Food & Beverage (franchise operations of Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin', Halla Shawarma, and in-house concepts), Engineering, Media (ownership stake in Khaleej Times), and Ventures (hospitality including the Radisson Blu Galadari Colombo in Sri Lanka). The group represents 60+ global brands and employs 5,001-10,000 people across the GCC, Asia, and Australia.

The company generates revenue through a portfolio of distribution and franchise models: hardware sales of heavy equipment and vehicles, transaction fees and franchise operations in food & beverage, professional services in engineering, advertising and subscriptions through media, and managed services in hospitality. Distribution is executed through owned showrooms (e.g., Lynk & Co Sharjah, iCAUR Sharjah), franchised retail outlets, dealer networks, and direct B2B enterprise sales to construction, infrastructure, and government-linked clients. The group is family-controlled, with active involvement by Co-Chairman and Group CEO Mohammed Galadari and Group Chief Investment Officer Ibrahim Galadari.

Recent strategic activity centers on capital-intensive infrastructure expansion (a 50-year AED 75 million KEZAD land lease in Abu Dhabi and a US$48.5 million Radisson Blu Colombo refurbishment), onboarding new EV automotive principals (Lynk & Co, iCAUR), and sustainability-aligned green financing (Emirates NBD Green Term Loan). The group is positioning itself around UAE Net Zero 2050 through LEED-certified construction, green building, and carbon reporting initiatives. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on quote-based dealer and franchise models.
