Cyrus Group

Since its inception some four decades ago as a family enterprise, The Cyrus Group has today  progressively evolved into a truly multi-national and multi-cultural Corporation with strategic partners and operations internationally.

Cyrus Group began operations in 1977 importing bulk commodities, primarily foodstuffs and fertilizers. Recognizing the market need for real quality control in the importation of grain products, Cyrus was the first in the region to import bulk rice, upgrade and repackaging for consumer consumption at point of destination. The success was self-evident in the exclusive distribution to 1800 cooperatives in the region with over six million family members and the supply to Government and private institutions.

Identifying opportunities and recognizing weaknesses in the market is a particular skill of the Company’s management and was applied to other bulk product sectors. Finding a more efficient and cost effective way to supply products has become The Group’s key expertise in rice, grain, fertilizer and pesticides, which expanded into bitumen and other downstream products such as gas oil, fuel oil, base oil and lubricants.

Having identified shortfalls in the market and a need for reliable choice in its areas of operations, the Cyrus Group introduced six wholly owned specialized vessels and set-up the necessary operational units in the UAE, Oman, Djibouti, Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Qatar with fully controlled in-house logistical chain. Today, this includes seven vessels and over 200 wholly owned and controlled fleet of road tankers and bitutainers ensuring, accurate and timely deliveries to our client base.
