Nashar Trading Company was established in 1941 by Sheikh Mohammad Ebrahim Nashar as a sole Trading Establishment. Its Commercial Register (97) is evidence that it is one of the oldest trading houses in the Kingdom.

In the beginning it imported commodities such as rice, flour, wheat, sugar, coffee and cardamom. In the late fifties it started importing and selling tinned food products such as tomato paste, milk powder, evaporated milk, cream and ghee.

When the founder passed away in 1971 the company was constituted as a Mixed Liability company under Saudi Companies Law. Since then the company has grown to become one of the leading importing, distribution and meat manufacturing companies, marketing its own brands plus a select portfolio of international brands.
