stepping stone
In 1949 Almana Engineering

set up and still is, a leader in the construction
industry in Qatar. It has played an important
role in the development of the real estate business

The
Rise
In the year 1954 a new
company, Mohammed Abdul Latif Almana & Bros.,
was formed and was awarded the dealership of
Philips, Holland in the State of Qatar. In 1955,
Mohammed Abdul Latif Almana & Bros. were appointed
the local dealers for the Ford Motors, U.S.A.
in the State of Qatar, a dealership we held
until the Israel boycott of this particular
Company. In 1959 Mohd. Abdul Latif Almana &
Bros. sponsored "African & Eastern Ltd." - the
trading wing of Unilever Arabia in the Middle
East in the State of Qatar. In 1978, a sister

up and it is currently one of the largest of
it's type in the State of Qatar and employing
1200 people. Qatar Cleaning Company (QCC) provides
