It operates through five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Bahri & Mazroei Trading Co.

The group sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales targeting construction firms, government entities, and infrastructure developers, supplemented by channel partnerships with global technology manufacturers and a flagship Port Saeed Experience Centre showroom in Dubai for client demonstrations.
