A Journey That Began With Honey
AlOumi International is a family-owned Kuwaiti parent company established in 2010. What began as a personal passion for honey and beekeeping has grown into an integrated group of businesses operating across multiple sectors.
AlOumi International is a family-owned Kuwaiti parent company established in 2010, with a journey that began from a genuine passion for honey, natural food and beekeeping.
What started as a personal interest gradually developed into a passion for bees, beekeeping and understanding honey from different origins. With time, passion became knowledge. Knowledge became experience. And experience gradually developed into a business.
Today, AlOumi International is the parent company of the AlOumi Business Group — a growing organization that includes a dedicated honey and bee-products brand (The 3 Beez), a food manufacturing facility (Zadco Factory), a consumer delivery operation (Golam Express), and a directly owned company in New Zealand (Manuka Drops Limited).
The group's beekeeping activities in Kuwait involve approximately 4,000 beehives distributed across around 300 family-hosted apiary locations in different areas of Kuwait. Each location is hosted by a Kuwaiti family, often within the garden of the family home. For us, these families are more than hosts — they are part of the journey. We proudly consider them Partners in Success.
