More than fifty years ago, my father, Jassim Al Wazzan, a
young and energetic businessman noticed the approach of a cultural and
economical shift in the Kuwaiti society. He knew then what we know now,
that successful businesses must be consistent, reliable, and committed
to strong business foundations. Providing quality products,
being an honest partner, working hard, and being patient are what most
responsible businesses aspire to achieve. However, to be successful and
sustain a profitable business, the people behind the business must
deliver quality, be resilient, and be willing to explore new
opportunities and markets. These principles continue to be the
foundation upon which Mezzan Holding Company was built. They represent
Mezzan’s origins, its culture and heritage, and where it stands at
present – industry leaders across multiple industries; and where it’s
headed – investing in regional and global partnerships and business
ventures that compliment and leverage resources.
Mezzan Holding Co. is more than a collection of great brands that are owned under one umbrella, it is one of the Gulf’s largest and most diversified food, nonfood, and service providers. Its success has come, by building a business based on strong leadership, strategic vision, and a deep understanding of diverse industries, talented and hardworking teams and partnerships, and aligning itself and its business strategies to achieve excellence.
Jassim Al Wazzan’s views and practices continue with our businesses
today. While the changing global market presents new challenges, Mezzan
Holding Company meets those challenges, just as my father met them over
a half century ago – we let our principles guide us; stay competitive
by paying attention to the details; invest in strong leadership,
structure and transparency; inspire our people and encourage creativity
and innovation; supports our businesses by leveraging their strengths
and resources; and take full responsibility towards our communities.
Most importantly, Mezzan Holding Co. continues to provide the high-performance services, valuable and new partnerships and enjoyable products and services which our customers, clients and communities expect.
