AFFILIATED COMPANIES

 

Subject is a member of the Hayel Saeed Anam group of companies which was founded by four brothers from a village outside Taiz back in 1938, the family business was consolidated in Aden during the British era and later transferred back to the home base in North Yemen in 1947.

 

The group is headed by Hayel Saeed Anam & Co Ltd which is now chaired by Ali Mohamed Hayel Saeed and his sons, Abdul Wassa, Abdul Gabar and Abdul Rahman who have become the most notable personalities in the group especially after the death of the founder and former chairman of the group, the late Hayel Saeed Anam who passed away in May 1990.

 

The Hayel Saeeds were the first family in Yemen to go into industry, and since 1970 some

YR 300,000,000 has been invested in ventures that include a biscuit factory, a sponge and plastics unit, mineral water factory, and a ghee and soap plant. Two more industrial plants opened in 1985, one capitalised at YR 50,000,000 that produces baby diapers, shampoos and face creams; and the other is capitalised at YR 75,000,000 and produces milk, yoghurt and cheese.

 

The Hayel Saeed Anam Group is rapidly becoming a fully integrated unit. The raw materials for the company’s industrial plants are carried in their own shipping line, Middle East Shipping Company Ltd, and goods are packed in their own carton packing plant and even their factories are constructed by Kirby Building Systems, for which the group is the Yemen agent; other agencies include Rothmans (cigarettes), Shell and Unilever.

 

The group is also well known for their progressive record on labour. They were the first to employ women in factories, a move which attracted considerable attention from local religious leaders. They have also established a technical training institute in Taiz for 100 students and also finance scholarships for others to study overseas.
