History
Established by Abdulla Ahmed Nass over fifty years ago with a vision of integrity and excellence.
After spending ten years in Saudi Arabia gaining experience of the contracting industry, local entrepreneur and businessman Abdulla Ahmed Nass returned to Bahrain in 1963 to set up his own civil construction and general trading business. He was soon undertaking major construction projects and quickly established a reputation for honest dealing and quality service.

As his business grew, so did his need for a reliable local source of construction services such as mechanical, electrical, plumbing and joinery contracting and of materials like cement, sand, aggregate and concrete. Therefore, during the 1970s, Abdulla Nass set up companies, many of which were the first of its kind in Bahrain, to provide these services and materials. These were followed in the 1980s by a range of specialist companies to meet the growing needs of the shipping and offshore industries. Also during this period, Abdulla Nass formed a precast concrete company and entered the food import and wholesale business. He also established the first company in Bahrain to produce sulphuric acid.
Further expansion and diversification continued during the 1990's with scaffolding, prefabricated piping assembly, sweet water and ice, landscaping, organic fertilizer manufacture and a specialist shipyard (the only one in the Gulf to have totally engineered and built a jack-up oil platform rig) being added to the Nass Group's activities.
Affiliate offices were opened in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and UAE to support the Group's regional expansion.
