WHO WE ARE
From Humble Beginnings to a Trusted Name in Qatar
Around 40 years ago, the Al Ansari food brand began with a simple ambition: to bring quality food products to customers across Qatar. Starting modestly from a single room in Bin Mahmoud, with just two delivery vans, the business grew through hard work, trusted relationships and a commitment to dependable service
Over the years, those humble beginnings developed into an established food trading and distribution business, supplying spices, pulses, nuts, grains and essential grocery products to supermarkets, retailers, hospitality businesses and food-service partners across Qatar.
Our journey has always been about more than products. It is about earning trust, understanding our customers and growing alongside the communities we serve.
Our Journey
From a Single Room to a Leading Food Brand in Qatar
Al Ansari’s story is one of ambition, perseverance and continuous growth. From a small food operation in Bin Mahmoud with just two delivery vans to a recognised brand supplying major retailers across Qatar, we have continued to invest in our products, people and capabilities for nearly four decades.
Our Family Trading Roots
Ali Akbar Ansari Establishment was established in Souq Al Wakrah as a general trading company, laying the foundations for a family business built on enterprise and trusted relationships
Where Our Food Journey Began
Under the leadership of founder Mr Kabeer, our food business began in a single-room facility in Bin Mahmoud, with just two delivery vans. We initially supplied to the Cooperative Societes (now called Al Meera), building the foundations of the Al Ansari food brand.
Expanding Our Retail Presence
Al Ansari expanded its presence in Qatar's retail market, entering Carrefour at City Center Mall in 2000, Lulu Center in 2001, and Lulu Hypermarket in 2002, strengthening our brand's reach across the growing supermarket sector.
A Dedicated Home for Growth
We consolidated our operations at our fully owned facility in the Industrial Area, creating a stronger foundation for manufacturing, packaging and distribution.

Ali Akbar Ansari Establishment became Al Ansari Trading Establishment, bringing our business identity and food brand together under one name.
A Distinctive New Look
