“A Futuristic Vision from the Past”
The inheritance of Marafie’s ancestors in diversified business areas had opened the doors for the late Mohammad Rafie Hussain Marafie, the initial founder of Marafie Group, to get involved at a young age in 1919, in various commercial and trading activities. In this era, and because of an innovative vision of a great man, Marafie Group has been established.
The history of Marafie family in Kuwait goes back to near 1708 /1119 Hijri, accompanied with the early start of the establishment of the State of Kuwait.
The dominant part of their commercial activities, in that period, was in trading and exporting dates, wheat, and other agricultural produce by their own ships to the Ports in the Arabian countries, Africa and India. The family business had witnessed a prosperous growth in various business areas, which led to the current success and indisputable trust. This wealthy heritage has acquired Marafie Group vast experiences and generated the business’ credibility which is built by their everlasting commitment to their customers’ satisfaction, social responsibility, and Marafie’s policies and values.
Marafie family’s vision and values legacy assimilated in today’s Marafie Group’s success.
