CHAIRMAN MESSAGE

Thank you for your interest in Mohamed Ali Al Swailam Co.

(MASCO)MASCO had been in existence for 50 long years; ever since 1970. It witnessed many triumphs and downturns too. Operating in one of the most complicated regions of the world whether politically, socially or financially. This engraved our strengths as a fierce competitor and unbreakable performer. Along time, MASCO stood while many of comparable size players faded away.

We attribute this resilience to our people. Each and every member ever worked with MASCO immediately becomes one of the family forever. We have the best in class in each aspect.  They dedicate their lives to MASCO and in return we take very good care of them and their families.

Our founder created a unique corporate faith. We believe that transparent communication, whether upstream or downstream, is the number one rout to success. MASCO is like an operations room full of surgent and nurses, each and every team member know precisely their role and do it perfectly right. Each one of us understand that the difference between life and death is just one mistake.

We also believe in empowerment and accountability. Giving enough liberty to our employees to be responsibly creative and share in decisions always lead to the most efficient outcomes. The efficient connection between results and performance makes the best stimulus. And without empowerment this link can never be built.

Our team is extremely diversified in terms of all aspects of humanity differences. Yet, our organization is always strong, effective and smooth where there is zero tolerance for discrimination on any bases. This gives our employees the respect and the emotional safety they deserve. They are loyal to us in turn; and we are grateful for that.

MASCO continue the philosophy to spare no resources, rationally, for R&D, safety, training and internal development. We make sure that we are not ahead of everyone else, no, we make sure that we set the standard for everyone else to follow. We innovate, lead by example and make sure that others can not find a smarter way for doing things.

Looking into the future we set the strategy to grow both organically and inorganically. Also, both horizontally and vertically. We are expanding our business nodes discovering new adventures. We are entering new markets with the persistence to succeed like what we did before.

We thank you for the opportunity you have given us to introduce MASCO to you. We encourage, and humbly ask you to communicate with us at your earliest convenience. Whatever you need MASCO shall make sure to provide with the highest level of prudence, even if its just a friendly advice.
