In December of 1940, Qatar exported the first shipment of crude oil. This new- found wealth fueled the early development of the modern economy of State of Qatar.In 1964, Sheikh Ali Bin Khalifa Al -Thani founded National Group of Investments and developments and its subsidiary National Investments and developments with a team of managers, engineers, and a labour force that specialized in civil, mechanical, electrical and architectural engineering. Since then, National has maintained an ongoing presence in the local market and has successfully completed numerous prestigious and challenging projects, including schools, government buildings,power substations, housing compounds, commercial complexes, and industrial and commercial warehouses.

 

Under the wise leadership, the state of Qatar has now embarked on a new developmental stage to increase the production of crude oil and enhance the utilization of the vast reserves of natural gas from the North Field Gas Reservoir. Along with this came needs to develop the general infrastructure of the country in addition to Investments and developments of the major oil and gas and petrochemical industries.

 

These needs have presented local companies with new opportunities for growth, but along with the opportunities have come challenges to develop capabilities and resources that will enable them to maintain the large volume of work and even more diversified activities while competing at international knowledge and skills.

 

Following in the footsteps of our visionary founder, National has committed to consistently improve the value of our group, both independently and by teaming up with reputable and experienced partners. Through our global alliances, we are enhancing our existing capabilities and building up new activities and industrial facilities within our group.

 

We have developed the National Group into a holding company that owns and operates a group of establishments in the state of Qatar. Our target and vision is to develop our presence as an emerging leader with diversified activities in all sectors of the local and regional economy. Along with this growth in activities come more commitments to the nation of Qatar. National is committed to introducing state of the art industries and technologies and to provide opportunities for the development and growth of the national workforce.

 

We have begun translating our vision into concrete actions by developing new joint-venture companies, establishing new activities, and acquiring local and international knowledge and experiences.

 

We are also actively working to establish the capabilities and relationships for providing the local market with industrial services such as machine shop and maintenance facilities, operation and maintenance services, Investments and developments, and engineering support services.

 

The philosophy and goal of our operation is to uphold our obligations to society and nation of Qatar. We add a ‘National Touch’ to every single task that we handle.
