What NASS Corp does
Nass Corporation B.S.C. (Closed) is a Bahraini Public Joint Stock Company founded in 1963 by Abdulla Ahmed Nass and listed on the Bahrain Stock Exchange in 2005 with a paid-up capital of BHD 22 million. It operates as an integrated construction solutions platform with twelve divisions organized into four pillars: Construction (Nass Contracting, Nass Industrial Services, Nass Electrical, Nass Asphalt, Nass Landscapes), Manufacturing (Delmon Ready Mix Concrete, Delmon Precast), Services (Nass Scafform, Nass Ice Factory, Nass Sand Processing Plant), and Trading & Marketing (Nass Commercial, Nass Foods). Headquartered in Manama, Bahrain, the group operates in three GCC countries — Bahrain, Saudi Arabia (Al Khobar), and the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) — with a workforce of 2,500+ employees (1,500 in Industrial Services plus 1,000 in Scafform alone).
The company's competitive position rests on vertical integration of the construction supply chain: in-house ready-mix concrete (nine plants, 500 m³/hour, 13+ million m³ delivered since 1973), asphalt and aggregates (200,000 tonnes/year asphalt, 1M tonnes/year aggregates), precast concrete products, washed building sand (4,100+ tons/day), scaffolding assets (US$23M+), and ice/water production, all feeding internal projects and external customers. Specialized credentials include ASME U/U2/S/R/NB stamps, ISO 17025:2017 for its concrete testing laboratory (first in the Gulf in 2019), Grade 1 electrical contractor status, ECITB Approved Centre, CISRS accreditation, and HACCP/ISO 22000:2018 for food distribution. Major clients include BAPCO, ALBA, Bahrain Ministry of Works, EWA, Diyar Al Muharraq, Durrat Al Bahrain, Jumeirah, Four Seasons, and GPIC.
Nass earns revenue through a mix of project-based construction and EPC contracts (lumpsum, tender-driven), direct manufacturing and sale of ready-mix concrete, asphalt, precast, sand, ice, and water, equipment dealership and after-sales services (CASE, SITRAK, Massey Ferguson, BASF, SCHWING), and food distribution via Horeca, retail, wholesale, e-commerce, and catering channels. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The family retains majority ownership and board control; leadership includes Chairman Sameer Abdulla Nass, Deputy Chairman Sami Abdulla Nass, CEO Mazen Matar (appointed July 2024), and CFO Bassam Awdi. In 2025 a Voluntary Conditional Exit Offer was disclosed, indicating an imminent change-of-control/take-private transaction.
