Established in 1938 by then Secretary of State Abdullah Saleh Al Mulla, the Group started out when the late Mr. AlMulla partnered with a friend named Saleh Jamal to set up an electrical and domestic appliance store, soon acquiring the GEC franchise from the United Kingdom. A few years later, Abdulla AlMulla bought Saleh Jamal's shares in the company, handing over management to his eldest son Bader. In 1947, the Bader AlMulla and Brothers Company was created, soon acquiring the rights to distributor Chrysler vehicles in Kuwait. Business expansion later followed into areas of marine products, HVAC contracting, travel and industrial equipment distribution.

History
Following the founder's death in 1955, his eldest son Bader became chairman until 1969, with his brothers Najeeb and Anwar becoming his successors; Najeeb as Chairman, and Anwar as Deputy Chairman & CEO. Three years later, the Maseelah Trading Company was founded in 1972. Maseelah Trading acquired the distribution rights for Mitsubishi Motor Vehicles in Kuwait immediately, which led to dramatic growth in the automotive business for the Group.
In 1978, radical changes were made to the company by the shareholders. A multinational board was appointed, defying the local tradition of having a board composed of only family members. The Group ventured into different businesses such as environmental systems, vehicle rental and leasing, fire protection, office equipment, security services, engineering products, consumer appliances and insurance consultancy. The Group continued to expand and enhance its operations into the 1980s up to today, searching for new opportunities and diversifying its operations in new fields and in new locations in the Middle East. Today, the Group operates through 40+ subsidiaries and affiliates under the umbrella of AlMulla Group Holding Company.
