in diverse fields, including pharmaceuticals, food, contracting, media, real estate development, hospitality, beauty, and perfumes. How did Abdul Samad Al Qurashi plant the seed of <\/span><\/p>\n

a vast empire that made him wealthy?<\/span><\/p>\n

><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The beginning<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

It all began in 1932, when the father, Sheikh Abdul Samad Al Qurashi, opened a small perfume shop near the Grand Mosque in Mecca, where he focused <\/span><\/p>\n

He sought out rare flowers and herbs with pleasant fragrances and, by blending them, created distinctive, one-of-a-kind aromatic mixtures.<\/span><\/p>\n

The father was keen to take his son, Mohammed, along to learn the art of business. He set him up with a small mobile shop so he could travel between cities across the Kingdom and introduce <\/span><\/p>\n

customers to his products.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

The Founder Passes Away<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sheikh Abdul Samad Al Qurashi passed away, leaving behind the beginnings of a global brand whose success his sons would go on to build.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

The Sons Carry on the Legacy<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

After their father\u2019s death, his four sons\u2014Mohammed, Anas, Zuhair, and Ihsan\u2014took over the business, hoping to expand it and take it global.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0639\u0645\u0644 \u062f\u0624\u0648\u0628<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Over the years, the brothers worked tirelessly to develop their products and improve their quality, earning the trust of their customers. The company continued to open branches <\/span><\/p>\n

in cities across the Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Meticulous Studies and High Quality<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Abdul Samad Al Qurashi\u2019s management was committed to using the highest production standards by conducting thorough research and reevaluating the materials used, while ensuring that <\/span><\/p>\n

they had no adverse effects on human health or the environment. This commitment led to the creation of products that meet international standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

\u0639\u0642\u0628\u0627\u062a<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The family\u2019s overwhelming success led many people to imitate and sell their products, causing the company some losses. The brothers therefore had to <\/span><\/p>\n

set up a team of specialists to monitor these violations and take the necessary regulatory and legal action to curb commercial fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Going Global<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The brothers were not content with their unprecedented success in the local market. They set out to expand into Europe, opening in one of the countries best known for its perfumes:<\/span><\/p>\n

France. They established a store in the capital, Paris, which proudly bears\u2014and continues to bear\u2014the slogan: \u201cMade in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This was followed by expansion into London and Turkey, along with an increase in the number of stores across various Arab countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

100% Locally Made<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The brothers were committed to establishing their own factories to manufacture and package all their products, making them 100% locally made and adding value to the economy <\/span><\/p>\n

of Saudi Arabia, while becoming a distinguished, fully integrated destination for the nation and its people.<\/span><\/p>\n
