About Us

Five Decades Advancing the UAE's Lubricant & Vehicle Wash Industry

Ghanim Trading was established in 1971 by Ali Ghanim Al Falasi and Mr. Ketner as a UAE limited liability company (LLC). Since then, the company has played a pivotal role in establishing and developing the lubricants industry in the United Arab Emirates.

Since its inception, GT has strengthened the UAE's lubricants sector by bringing the latest German technologies to the region through direct partnerships with the world's leading lubricant manufacturers.

In 1989, the company expanded its scope through a strategic alliance with a leading European partner in vehicle-wash technology, enabling the introduction of advanced vehicle-wash systems equipped with the latest technical innovations.

Today, through our accumulated expertise and our specialised technical team, we have become partners in improving performance and raising operational efficiency for our diverse clients.
