In the last few decades, the real estate and construction sector has been the key architect of the GCC, and especially the UAE’s, economic evolution and progress. Acknowledging this as a viable opportunity, we laid the foundation of our first non-food business division, Barrick General Trading.

Conceived to add breadth to the Barrick Group’s operations within the region and globally, Barrick General Trading is currently engaged in the acquisition and supply of market-leading building materials.

With a resolute commitment to on-going technology developments and diversification, we work closely with a network of manufacturers, builders and industry experts to ensure modestly-priced yet highly-appreciated quality of products meet the needs of all construction or refurbishment projects – from sky-piercing towers to individual villas. Today, we have become a regionally recognised supplier of sanitary ware, lighting solutions and construction safety equipment, and are proud to be known as the company behind the two home-grown brands, Kaku and Ego.

The Kaku and Ego range of sanitary ware has been supplied and installed in homes, offices and stores within the GCC especially in Saudi Arabia, with proven success.
