OHI Group

What OHI Group does

OHI Group of Companies (legal name: Oman Holdings International Co SAOC) is one of the largest privately-held conglomerates in the Sultanate of Oman, founded in 1976 in Muscat by Maqbool Hameed Al Saleh and now led by the Al Saleh family under Chairman Ammar Maqbool Al Saleh and Vice-Chairman & Group CEO Eihab Maqbool Al Saleh. The group operates across twelve industry sectors — Defence & Security, Training & Education, Electronics, Energy, Engineering & Construction, Finance & Insurance, Logistics, Marine & Motors, Media, Service Solutions, ICT, and Travel — through more than thirty wholly-owned subsidiaries, associate companies, and strategic joint ventures, serving enterprise clients and government entities primarily in Oman and the broader GCC/MENA region.

Its core technology and product surface is concentrated in the ICT cluster: Software Systems LLC (SSL) operates a Digital Transformation Platform spanning content management, analytics, AI, automation, and bespoke application development; International Information Technology Co. LLC (IITC) functions as a premier-level systems integrator for Microsoft, Oracle, Dell, Cisco, Fortinet, and CommScope; and an OHI eProcurement Portal supports supplier onboarding. The group also holds a proprietary marketing attribution system called SIGNAL, commercialized via a 2026 partnership with Influence Outdoor Hospitality (IoH) targeting the US outdoor hospitality vertical. Other operational offerings include radio broadcasting (Hi FM, Hala FM, So! Radio), advertising through OHI Leo Burnett, construction via Douglas OHI, oil & gas inspection through Applus+, and energy services through a MAN Energy Solutions JV.

OHI Group's business model is B2B conglomerate sales: revenue is generated through hardware distribution (Yamaha, Gulf Craft, NEC, BOSE, AEG, Sulzer, Voith, Sublue), professional services and project-based construction (Douglas OHI, Fugro JV, OITC, SIM), managed IT services and systems integration (IITC, SSL, OHI Telecom, ITSC), transaction-fee businesses (Eihab Travels travel agency, Budget Rent-a-Car franchise since 1981, UPS authorized service contractor since 1999, Fenchurch Faris insurance broking JV), and advertising sales (Hi FM, Hala FM, So! Radio). Pricing is project-specific and quote-based for most enterprise engagements; pricing models and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Distribution combines direct enterprise and government sales teams with authorized service contractors, franchise operations, and channel partners across Oman and the GCC.
