Roots in Qatar

We are a Qatari company, proud of our heritage and our reputation for integrity, honesty and dependability earned over more than 6 decades of business in Qatar. A&P was originally established in 1954 as Mohammed Abdul Latif Almana & Bros and was awarded the dealership of Philips in the State of Qatar. This was followed by a further strategic partnership entered into in 1959 when it sponsored African & Eastern -the trading wing of Unilever Arabia in the Middle East. The company was renamed "Almana & Partners W.L.L." in 1989 after a restructuring of the business operations and divisions.

Almana & Partners has proven itself to be a valued partner over many years and we have a proud track record of delivering value to our customers and our suppliers as evidenced by the longstanding relationships and awards bestowed upon us:
