Aujan Group Holding ( AGH ) is a diversified holding company, active in a wide-range
of industries, including FMCG, Hospitality & Real Estate, Packaging Materials, Natural
Resources and Financial Investments. A family business with a history dating back over
a hundred years and a deep-rooted pioneering spirit, AGH has successfully leveraged
its brand building and market development skills along with proven industry
experience to drive sustainable profitable growth within the Middle East and Africa
regions.
All of AGH’s activities are focused on capitalising on the potential of the Middle East and Africa region’s rapid economic growth. AGH invests and partners with a number of world class companies in order to build capabilities and generate stable returns on investment.
Wherever it operates, AGH is an active participant in each location, adding value though managerial capabilities and local knowledge, as well as taking significant care to consider the community, people and the surrounding environment through socially responsible initiatives. AGH is proud of its past and passionate about the future.
Over the last 30 years the Aujan Group business has been operating as a conglomerate. This diversity delivered portfolio balance, but in recent years we have recognized the need for operational focus particularly in a highly volatile MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region.
We have embarked on a program to deliver an FMCG centered operating business and a complementary investment company covering a full variety of investment classes from equity, and fixed income to real estate, technology and private equity. That transition is in progress and a number of disposals have been completed in the last 5 years.
The investment company will provide a solid, reliable return to the shareholders and the FMCG centered business will enable us to fully focus on driving superior returns using our long experience and deep expertise in the regional beverages market.
Through this period of change, our core capabilities have not changed. We focus on building great brands, working with world class partners, taking managed risk in challenging geographies and driving growth through excellent people.

Luwire comprises a small team of dedicated conservationists, many of whom have been in place since its inception in 2001, seeking to implement practical and robust solutions to the challenges of conservation at scale and long term financial and physical security that allows the area under our stewardship to thrive. The Luwire team work closely with the small local communities who must ultimately take up the reigns and guardianship of Luwire’s incredible heritage.
Fourth largest protected area in Sub-Saharan Africa. Twice the size of Kruger National Park at 10,000,000 acres or 42,000km². Luwire holds the largest and most viable elephant population in Mozambique. Ideal habitat to re-establish black rhino which went locally extinct between 2000 and 2010. One of the largest miombo woodland forests in the world.
Remote, pristine wilderness with an indigenous population of 60,000 and virtually no tourism infrastructure. Under severe threat from poaching, artisanal mining and illegal forestry due to limited historical governmental and NGO oversight and insufficient community engagement.

VIMTO was launched in 1908 in Manchester, England. Developed initially as a herbal tonic providing strength and energy “Vim and Vigour” Vimtonic, as it was originally named and soon became simply Vimto with its unique and refreshing taste. It was introduced to the Middle East by the Aujan family in 1928 and in 1978, Vimto was manufactured in the MENA region for the first time at the newly commissioned Aujan factory in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Over the years, Vimto has become one of the most loved and admired beverage brands in the Gulf Region. Vimto Cordial has become synonymous with Ramadan and the tradition of family gatherings, a unique and irreplaceable drink of choice on the iftar table consumed by families across all generations, providing a rewarding boost soothing the body after a day of fasting.
In recent decades, the Vimto portfolio has been extended to include Ready To Drink Sparkling and Fruit Drink range. Most recently a “No Added Sugar” Cordial and Fruit drink have been introduced, addressing the health and wellness lifestyle trend. The MENA region is the biggest global market for Vimto, evident in Cordial sales of approximately 25M bottles every year.

Today Barbican is a leading beverage brand in the region and in most GCC countries holds market share leadership in the malt beverages. The brand has developed strong bonds with consumers in the region and Barbican has established itself as a badge brand for young adults, supporting them in their ever-changing search for self-expression.
Barbican meets different consumer needs with a wide range of flavours and is available in glass bottle and aluminum cans. The brand continues to grow via new innovations and expanding its range of tantalizing flavours amplifying moments of togetherness.
