What Al Hajery Group does

Al Hajery Group of Companies is a privately held Omani diversified trading and distribution conglomerate founded in 1990 and headquartered in Muscat, Oman. The company operates two core product divisions: Foodstuff (import and wholesale of grains, pulses, spices, sugar, fruits, vegetables, perishables, fish, seafood, and poultry sourced from the Philippines, India, Thailand, China, Vietnam, and the USA) and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing products including valves, fittings, automation controls, refrigeration components, and general consumables distributed under brands such as Crane, Schneider Electric, Danfoss, Mueller, Honeywell, and Emerson). Its underlying physical infrastructure includes 607,028.5 square meters of farming land, a 14,160 m² cold storage facility with 60 tons-per-day capacity and direct sea approach, warehouses, and real estate holdings across Oman and the MENA region.

The company's business model combines import-and-resell distribution, sole and nominated brand distributorship (Aastha Brand Indian spices, Parle-G biscuits), government tender supply, value-added brand management services with dedicated brand managers, and backward-integrated farming and cold storage. It serves modern trade (A-grade and B-grade supermarkets), traditional wholesale, food service/HoReCa, government institutions, and the HVAC construction industry, reaching over 1,000 retailers across Oman. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company operates a direct sales force with professional sales representatives and a vendor registration system for suppliers.

Al Hajery Group has expanded from its Omani base into six MENA markets (Oman, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia) and is staffed by 251–500 employees. The competitive position is anchored by multi-decade brand recognition since 1990, an established direct-to-store delivery network, exclusive distribution mandates from international brand owners, and capital-intensive infrastructure that supports ex-stock availability and rapid fulfillment in the regional market.
