Overview

The history of Moumin Group of Companies (MGC) dates back to more than 20 years when its founder, Mr. Abdulrahman Abdullah Moumin, established the company in 1983 under the name of "Moumin Enterprises" and acquired an import license.

Over the years, Moumin Enterprises expanded its businesses, adding more products as and when needed. However, to streamline its operations and create synergies within the Group, the various companies were eventually merged into the flagship concern, Moumim Group of Companies (MGC). From this gradual development what has emerged is a pioneering and diversified group with prominent interests in virtually all areas of Somalia’s consumer trade. Therefore, the principal trading company, Moumin Group of Companies, coordinates the activities of its many subsidiaries.

Moumin Group is a private limited company headed by Mr. Abdulrahman Abdullah Moumin, who is the Chairman and the Managing Director of the Group. A progressive and forward-looking person, it is in his vision to make the Group a public limited company in the future.

The company adheres to the philosophy of achieving growth through professional management and expansion in a phased and planned manner.
