About Al Masaood

Al Masaood is one of the leading trading families of Abu Dhabi with a rich diversity of companies and businesses in Abu Dhabi, elsewhere in the UAE, and further afield. We were the first company to be registered by the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce. Our Group has been involved in the commercial development of Abu Dhabi, mirroring the Government’s development path with some key ‘firsts’ such as delivering to the country its first gas turbine and developing the UAE’s first desalination plant. Al Masaood is one of the great trading families of Abu Dhabi, known as a successful merchant in the UAE and the Arabian Gulf for more than 5 decades. From their early years, Al Masaood companies have been involved in the commercial development of Abu Dhabi, with the late Ahmed Al Masaood becoming the first president of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and the company being the first to be registered by the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce in 1970. The Group partnered with British company John Brown Engineering in 1970 to bring the first gas turbine to Abu Dhabi and the Middle East, and later with Weir Westgarth to construct the first desalination plant in the UAE.
