Al Khalid Group - Al-Shuwaikh, Kuwait

Founded almost half a century ago by Mishary Al-Khalid, the Al-Khalid Group of Companies is a family business built on a solid foundation of traditional values and modern business practices.
Mishary Al-Khalid is the youngest son of the renowned businessman and visionary – the late Khalid Zaid Al-Khalid – one of the founders of modern Kuwait and a regional pearl merchant in the early 1900s. Mishary, a shrewd and enterprising pioneer in Kuwait’s business community, began his career aside from the family business by establishing an engineering and contracting company, as well as a commercial fishing fleet. These two seemingly disparate concerns were, in fact, a rather appropriate reflection of Kuwait’s seafaring history and its future development into a super-modern metropolis.
