The story of Al Faisal Holding’s growth and development reflects the same entrepreneurial vision, drive and innovative thinking that has seen the transformation of Qatar into one of the world’s strongest and fastest growing economies.
Starting as a small trading company named Gettco Trading 60 years ago, Al Faisal Holding is now a major holding company and one of Qatar’s private sector’s economic pillars. Al Faisal Holding is involved in several vital economic sectors such as real estate, manufacturing, trading, project management and hospitality, with each cluster comprising successful subsidiaries that enjoy market-leading positions in the areas they operate in. Al Faisal Holding is among the first companies to expand its investment beyond Qatar to regional and international markets through its fully-owned subsidiary ‘ARTIC’ and become an internationally-recognised name in the hospitality investment sector partnering with blue chip hotel operators such as Marriott Int’l, Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, Rotana and more, operating high-quality hotel portfolio in prime city locations across the MENA region, Europe, and North America. Al Faisal’s investments include its interest in Aamal Company Q.P.S.C, one of Qatar’s largest, most diversified companies.
Al Faisal Holding is not only considered a leading business entity, but is also regarded as a leading player in promoting the heritage and education of Qatar. It’s a widely respected contributor to the development of Qatar’s knowledge-based economy through its focus on education, culture, sport and skills development.
Al Faisal Holding’s success and growth can be attributed to its commitment to best practices in international standards of corporate governance, policies, and procedures, to the support of its local and international partners, and to the dedication and commitment of its employees.
