When the pandemic hit us hard, we realise that even in the worst times there are opportunities to look into. This is like the famous American proverb “ when the going gets tough, the tough get going”. AWS Distribution is set-up in October 2020, in the peak of pandemic when the supply chain of many critical products are disrupted.
We found opportunities when many established names in the Distribution landscape faltered on their commitments and the principal companies looking for new, financially sound Distribution Companies for entrusting their Agencies.
Please do not construe AWS as a new company. We are a part of the diversified Abdulwahed Bin Shabib Group of businesses having a glorious history of 40 years.
Born in the mid 1950’s, Abdulwahed Bin Shabib hailed from Deira, the oldest business and trading area in Dubai. Coming from a dynasty of clergymen, Abdulwahed Bin Shabib chose another route; a route that eventually led him to be a revered business leader in the UAE.
In the backdrop of modest accomplishments, he led teams and became acting general manager of Dubai Chamber to MNC business as Area Manager. His drive came from watching businessmen as a little boy, in his eyes they grew from small one shutter store to expansive buildings in such a short time. Businessmen who would ride their bikes to work everyday eventually started owning their very own cars, he knew that this was the path to follow.
AWS is primarily focused in Food distribution across GCC spanning a whole spectrum of products from frozen items, canned food, vegetables, rice, grains etc.and other FMCG and Horeca items.
We are also engaged in Distribution of non-food items, household goods, electronic items etc. Down the lane, we intend to develop our own branded products with a focus on quality.
AWS is well capitalized to the tune of AED 300 Million and having an excellent infrastructure of own warehouses, cold storages, labor accommodation etc. AWS has a good talent pool of dedicated employees who are well experienced in Distribution business and geared to serve you well.
As Dubai is strategically located at the crossroads between East and West serving a large population within its reach, we foresee great opportunities for our Distribution business.
