About ABCO
An international trading house since 1975
Abughazaleh Trading Company (ABCO) LLC buys, sells and moves goods across international markets — and has done so without interruption for fifty years.
Our Story
Fifty years in trade
ABCO began in 1975 trading food commodities. As the region built, the company added construction materials; as industry grew, it added factory machinery; as manufacturing matured, it added detergents and chemical products.
Logistics followed naturally — moving and storing the goods we trade gave us control over quality and timing that brokers cannot offer. Real estate came later, applying the same long-horizon thinking to property.
Today ABCO operates six complementary business sectors from its base in the United Arab Emirates, serving customers across the Middle East, North Africa, Europe, Asia and North America.
Our Values
How we do business
Reliability
Commitments made at contract are commitments met at delivery. Fifty years of repeat business rests on it.
Diversification
Six sectors that complement each other, so the business is never dependent on a single market cycle.
Relationships
Suppliers and customers we have worked with for decades, in some cases across two generations.
Control
Owning our logistics means we answer for the goods from origin all the way to the buyer's door.
