ABOUT TOWELL HOLDING

1866 : Established in Oman

TOWELL HOLDING traces its origins to 1866, when visionary entrepreneur W.J. Towell established the business in Oman—marking the beginning of a legacy that continues to shape the region today.


1943 : Expansion into Kuwait

A defining milestone came in 1914, when the Sultan family acquired full ownership of the business, laying the foundation for sustained growth, strong governance, and multi-generational leadership. The Group further expanded its regional footprint with its entry into Kuwait in 1943, reinforcing its position across the Arabian Gulf.
