About Akkad Group

A merchant family. An international institution.

Founded in Aleppo in 1991, Akkad Group Inc. has grown from a regional textile trader into a multinational group with offices in Montreal, Cairo, and Beirut — and trading interests across more than a dozen countries.

A Message from the Chairman

"We have never traded a commodity. We have traded trust."

When I founded this company in Aleppo in 1991, I had one conviction: that the only enduring advantage in international trade is the quality of one's word. Materials change. Markets turn. Currencies rise and fall. What lasts — across generations — is the integrity with which a house conducts itself.

Over three decades, Akkad Group has been entrusted by some of the most respected industrial names in Europe and Asia to represent them in our region. We do not take that responsibility lightly. Every shipment, every contract, every conversation is a continuation of the relationship our family began more than thirty years ago.

We invite you to know us not by what we trade, but by how we trade.
