About AW Rostamani
AW Rostamani Group is one of Dubai's long-established family businesses. It was founded in 1954 by Abdul Wahed Al Rostamani and grew from a small trading operation into a diversified group.
Automotive is the group's best-known business. For decades it has been the distributor in Dubai and the northern emirates for brands such as Nissan, Infiniti and Renault, running showrooms, service centres, spare parts operations and used car sales.
Car distribution in the UAE works through exclusive agents. International manufacturers appoint a local partner to import, sell and service their vehicles in a defined territory, which is why a handful of family groups control many of the country's best-known car brands.
Beyond cars, AW Rostamani has interests in real estate, retail and other services, following the diversified model common among Gulf family conglomerates.
The group has invested in digital sales channels, allowing customers to browse vehicles, book test drives and arrange servicing online, and has added electric and hybrid models as manufacturers shift away from petrol engines.
Family groups like AW Rostamani have played a large part in building the UAE's private sector since before the country's formation in 1971.
Startups UAE lists AW Rostamani among the UAE's established business groups.
