About Us
From a single shop opened in 1938 to a multinational group operating across food, manufacturing, trading and services — this is who we are, and the principles we were built on.
Who We Are
The HSA Group
From humble beginnings in the small rural village of Qaradh, some 35 kilometres south of the city of Taiz, the founders of HSA Group became the most prominent family business in the Arab region. The Group operates in various business activities around the world as a multinational company, managing companies across different economic sectors.
The Group was established in 1938 by the brothers descended from the Saeed Anam family — the late Mohamed Saeed Anam, the late Abdo Saeed Anam, the late Hayel Saeed Anam and the late Gazem Saeed Anam. Since its inception, the Group has gained a strong reputation in the world of finance and business through its commitment to its inherent values, and its keenness to maintain the highest quality and operational efficiency even under difficult circumstances.
The vision on which the Group was founded included the principle of maintaining a well-balanced and diversified investment portfolio. It has therefore established well-founded core businesses with a diversity of products that exist in many countries around the world.
The Group strives to continually provide the highest product quality to its consumers while maintaining constant growth — seeking attractive investment opportunities that expand its core business activities, flourish in the economies of different countries, and add value to both individuals and societies.

What We Do
Core business activities
The commercial, manufacturing and service activities are the main pillars of the Group's business continuation and growth. Manufacturing is a cornerstone activity, with products including edible oils, dairy, biscuits and confectionery, flour milling, sugar refining, cartons, printing and packaging, and cement production.
Contributing to the Group's name regionally and globally, the results of these industries can be witnessed in the presence of our FMCG products in markets around the world — a reflection of the excellence and recognition our products have earned.

The people, the journey and the purpose
Three threads run through everything the Group does — who leads it, how it got here, and what it intends to leave behind.
A vision across generations
Guided by family values and a long-term vision, the Group's leaders steward a diversified enterprise across food, manufacturing, trading and services — creating enduring value for the people, partners and communities we serve.

From Taiz to the world
What began in 1938 as a single retail shop in Aden has grown, over more than eight decades, into a diversified group spanning food, manufacturing, trading and services across more than a dozen countries.
Follow the journey year by year — the first shipping company, the first industrial venture, the move into the Gulf, the Far East and Africa, and the milestones that carried the Group from a highland village to global markets.
A business measured in generations
Our founders held that in order to grow and thrive, we must support and build. Creating Good is the name we give that work — our commitment to sustainability, to the communities we serve, and to the conduct expected of us in every market we operate in.
It is not a programme that sits alongside the business. It is how the business is expected to run.
