Introduction to the HSA Group

Welcome to the grand narrative of the HSA Group, an exemplar of unwavering commitment, vision, and determination. Our story traces its roots to the early 20th century when four visionary founders, Mohammed, Abdo, Hayel, and Gazim, embarked on a journey from Yemen's shores to the bustling port of Marseille, France. Their quest was driven by a profound desire to seek better opportunities and escape the hardships of their homeland. Born in the serene village of Qaradh, nestled 60 kilometers south of Taiz, Yemen, these brothers hailed from a family known for its generosity, integrity, and indomitable spirit.

The Foundation Stone

In 1938, after accumulating modest savings and pooling their collective experiences from their foreign sojourns, the brothers decided to return to their homeland. With a shared vision, they laid the foundation of what would become a business empire. Their first venture was a modest retail shop in Aden, christened as Hayel Saeed Anam & Brothers (HSA & Brothers). This establishment, though small, was the stepping stone to the colossal success they would achieve in the years to come. Their business acumen, complemented by the dedication of their second generation, catalysed the growth and diversification of their enterprise.

Evolution and Expansion

Following the demise of Haj Mohammed Saeed in 1952, the business underwent restructuring. HSA & Brothers metamorphosed into HSA & Co., a strategic move that allowed more family members to infuse their expertise, passion, and vision into the business, propelling it to greater heights. The group's journey was not solely confined to business expansion. They inherited a deep-seated belief in charitable and welfare responsibilities from their ancestors, ensuring that community upliftment and welfare remained at the heart of their endeavours.

Milestones and Global Footprint

From its humble beginnings in 1938, the HSA Group has achieved numerous milestones, each marking a significant chapter in its illustrious journey. Whether it was establishing the first industrial venture in Yemen, launching an annual award for sciences and arts, or venturing into global markets with strategic investments, the HSA Group's trajectory has been one of relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.

Today, the HSA Group's global presence is truly commendable, with operations spanning continents – from Yemen to the United Kingdom, and from Saudi Arabia to Indonesia.
