Ahmed Al Mahmood Group

What Ahmed Al Mahmood Group does

Ahmed Al Mahmood Group is a privately held, third-generation UAE family enterprise headquartered in Sharjah, operating a diversified portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiaries across pet care, logistics, real estate, luxury beauty, and 3D construction technology. The group's pet care platform is anchored by Canary Pet Group (six sub-brands across three Emirates), Vet Plus Advance Veterinary Center (a 12,000+ sq ft facility in Sharjah with a Dubai location), Vet Link (telemedicine referrals), and Pet Link (retail and care services). Logistics is served through MAKANK, a GPS-based mobile courier and delivery platform that addresses last-mile delivery in markets lacking formal physical addresses. Real estate services run through SEEN, which connects clients with developers including Arada and Majid Al Futtaim (Alfa Group). Luxury beauty services are delivered through Norsh Spa (established 2021), and advanced construction technology through SmrtPlus, headquartered at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP).

The group's business model is a hybrid of one-time transactions (retail, property brokerage, construction materials), recurring service revenue (pet care subscriptions, veterinary care, spa memberships), and per-transaction fees (MAKANK deliveries, SEEN property transactions). GTM is primarily direct-to-consumer across physical storefronts, in-house e-commerce, and mobile applications, supplemented by direct field sales for property services and B2B distribution for construction materials. Customers include UAE pet owners (primary), individual property buyers and sellers, beauty and wellness consumers, local merchants and e-commerce operators, and construction industry buyers. The group is led by third-generation founder and CEO Ahmed Asim Al Mahmood. No external investors, funding rounds, or public listing have been disclosed.
