History of Al Motawa Trading Company Ltd.

Al Motawa Trading Company Ltd.’s history takes us back in the year of 1972 when Mr. Jawad Al Motawa leased a small office and show room in Al-Ahsa City. From there Mr. Al Motawa started operating as a retail distributor of a few major household appliances and electronic equipments. He named the business "Al Motawa Trading Establishment (MTE)".

Utilizing his background education, experience and business management ability Mr. Al Motawa was able to secure his very first merchandise from local electronics wholesalers, assuring enough of the company’s inventory to get started. Consequently, the establishment was officially in business and customers started to pour in progressively everyday. From then on, the company has cut through numerous challenges and hurdles, nevertheless, emerged stronger each day with every new knowledge and experiences.

In the following years, the company broadened its scope of operation by opening up additional show rooms throughout the Eastern Region. This placed MTE as a major distributor of electrical equipments and home appliances in the regional market particularly in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

(MTC) in 1999 which gave the company the privilege to operate in a much larger scale and a share of even a greater portion of the household electrical and electronics applicances business. The transition from an establishment into a company made Mr. Jawad Al Motawa MTC’s Chairman and his son, Mr. Naim Al Motawa, as the General Manager.
