A Legacy of Excellence Since the 1920s
The story of Mahdi Habib Commercial Establishment begins almost a century ago, in the bustling heart of Al Mubarikiya Souq. In the 1920s, our great-grandfather Haji Habib opened a small tobacco shop, laying the foundation for a family tradition built on entrepreneurship, trust, and service to the community.
By 1952, the business evolved into Mahdi Habib Commercial Establishment, officially entering the import and distribution of world-class tobacco brands and introducing office furniture to the Kuwaiti market. This diversification marked the start of a legacy defined by quality, innovation, and reliability.
Over the decades, our name has become synonymous with integrity and professionalism. The goodwill we enjoy today is the result of decades of dedication, consistency, and trust—earned through our commitment to customer satisfaction and excellence in every product and service we deliver.
Today, this family business proudly stands in its fourth generation, carrying forward the same values that Haji Habib instilled while embracing innovation to meet the needs of Kuwait’s modern marketplace.
