Anabtawi Group was one of the first companies to operate in Palestine. Its beginnings go back to 1963 when Anabtawi General Trade Company was established. Its business then was restricted to the distribution of foodstuffs and consumer products through sub-agencies for internationals like Nestlé and Philip Morris. That beginning, characterized by perseverance, clear objectives and a sharp awareness of the conditions of the Palestinian market, was the base for a number of companies specialized in certain fields. The Group has since then expanded its commercial, industrial, agricultural and investment activities. Anabtawi Group has now become a holding group operating via its companies in a number of fundamental economic activities, through which important achievements were made and a high level of competitiveness was achieved, thus becoming the owner of the largest network of distribution in Palestine as well as of companies and branches in Ramallah, Jerusalem, Gaza and the USA
