Habshan Trading Company is a 100% locally-owned
company established in 1975 by the Al-Mazrouie family.
HTC's formation coincided with the start of the
"Habshan Gas Project" which is located in the Eastern
Province - 150 km from Abu Dhabi. It was the founders
feeling that the two events were symbolically linked
and they decided to give the same name to the
company.
HTC was originally dealing in General Trading due to
the structure of Abu Dhabi's economy at that time. The
U.A.E. had only recently become a federation and was
on the verge of development. Everything was in
demand, from consumer products to industrial
machinery. HTC was able to meet the customer's needs
due to the General Trading activities pursued.
By 1978, as the U.A.E. economy was developing
rapidly, specialisation was the order of the day. The
management chose to concentrate on supplying to the
burgeoning Oil and Gas industry. It was the obvious
choice at that time due to the oil boom. HTC quickly
progressed and affirmed its position among the top 10
companies supplying the Oil industry in Abu Dhabi.
As part of HTC's strategy of recognising the needs of it's
customers, a new service was introduced, whereby the
overhaul of major rotating equipment was undertaken
at various sites throughout the region.
This service was further extended to include the
refurbishment of turbo machinery components utilizing
specialist repair techniques.
Many overhauls and repairs, covering a wide range of
different makes of turbines and compressors, have been
successfully completed based on the close cooperation
of HTC and its principals.
During the last five years, HTC was involved heavily in
dealing with the neighbor countries in the same
industry, accordingly, a great success was achieved
which could be seen continuing and progressing more
and more.
