Sheikh Suhail Salim Bahwan, Chairman of the Suhail Bahwan Group and one of the Sultanate of Oman’s most prominent industrialists, has passed away.
The Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI) expressed its condolences and announced the death of Sheikh Suhail bin Salem bin Abdullah Al-Mukhaini Bahwan. OCCI extended its sympathies to his family and loved ones.
Hailing from an enterprising family in the coastal town of Sur, where his forefathers had travelled across the Arabian Sea doing successful trade for decades, Sheikh Suhail Bahwan moved to the capital city of Muscat in 1965 (along with his brother Sheikh Saud Bahwan) and started a small trading enterprise in Muttrah souq, selling general merchandise.
As Oman embarked on a journey of economic growth and prosperity, Sheikh Suhail Salim Bahwan seized the new business opportunities while tackling the challenges.
As per the company profile on its website, from a small trading enterprise at Muttrah in 1965, the Suhail Bahwan Group has grown to become a multibillion-dollar corporate enterprise with over 30 companies and over 7,000 employees in the Sultanate of Oman and across the Gulf Region, North Africa, and South Asia.
The Group's diversified businesses cover almost every aspect of people's lives - from automobiles, electronics, computers, travel, lifestyle and healthcare to agriculture, chemicals, fertilizers, construction, engineering, information technology, manufacturing, oil and gas services and telecommunications, furnishing and fit out and building materials- thus helping customers realize their dreams and aspirations to lead a quality life.
