ABOUT US

Integrity. Initiative. And a bit of truthful ingenuity. Three principles born out of the enterprising instincts of our founders and nurtured every day across the diversified interests of Barrick Group.

Humble beginnings fuelled by burgeoning aspirations led to the inception of Barrick Group’s first commercial venture in 2003 – a general trading company solely specialising in food and consumable products for the UAE and African markets.

A move that set the prologue to the Group’s success story. As the Middle Eastern and African markets continued underlining their presence on the global map, our business continued growing in parallel. A fact acknowledged in our previous trading volumes of USD 15 to 20 million per month. Just in 2014 alone, we supplied an average of 550 containers of perishable and non-perishable items per month to our vast network of traders, partners and clients across the region.

Today, Barrick Group is further enriched through diversity, as our commercial ventures now encompass manufacturing, building materials, commodities, consulting, and food & beverage industries. While the UAE, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and East African territories remain our niche, our scale of operations have also expanded to cover Europe, Latin and North America and Asia.

From start-up to now, our journey has crossed numerous milestones, including becoming financially self-sufficient. This sustainability has enabled us to grow without any financial liabilities, a remarkable accomplishment in today’s times.
