When Almuftah Rent a Car began its operations in 1971, the very concept of hiring cars was a novelty in Qatar. The few cars that were seen on the roads were either owned by affluent individuals or were operated by companies.
The Tires and Lubricants Division of the Almuftah Trading and Contracting Company holds a special place in Almuftah Group’s heritage timeline because, as a pioneer unit, it enabled the group to establish a firm foothold as a respected business in the country. The division opened its first showroom in 1968, when it commenced operation as a distributor of Toyo Tires, a premium tyre brand from Japan.
Over the last few decades, the demand for both economical and luxury vehicles have grown dramatically in Qatar, thanks to the unprecedented economic development that the country experienced during this short period of time. As a response to this growing demand, Altadamon Motors and Trading Company was established in 1987.
