Who We Are
We started with the simple desire to do things better, from Romania. Caring for animals was our first ambition, and we have dedicated ourselves since 1991 to making sure they are traded with respect to their welfare. Since then, the turn of the millennium saw Al Mahmoud Group grow into a much larger enterprise.
Today we work across Romania, Spain, Ireland, Croatia, and Bulgaria in Europe.
We trade around the Middle East. We have also gone as far as Uruguay, Brazil, and Columbia to bring our buyers some of the best quality meat across various breeds of cattle.
What We do
We ensure we have control over the entire supply chain, providing our customers trade service.
Trading in young European breeds such as Angus, Hereford, Simmental, Limousin, Charolais, Belgian Blue and Red Angus from southern Brazil and Uruguay, or in the famous Northern Brazilian Nelore breed and their crosses, we have our own pre-export facilities to keep the cattle in while it waits to be transported on our own carriers in exactly the correct conditions as specified by our buyers.
Technical Specifications
We have this fully covered: effective ventilation systems, high fodder capacities, with high water production and drainage systems, all especially designed for the comfort and safety of the cargo, particularly on long haul voyages. Our fleet of livestock vessels have varying capacities, from 2,000 heads to 11,000, designed for livestock transportation and fulfilling the highest standards as approved by the EU, the Irish Department of Agriculture, and the USDA. So there you have it. Started in the early 1990s from Romania, we became Constanta’s largest livestock exporter from 2007 until 2011 while branching out to exporting cattle from over 8 countries globally, Al Mahmoud just keeps growing.
Where We Work

Many reasons. To give our clients the best support we can, to make sure transported livestock is treated well, to explore the outer bounds of animal transport and supply chain innovation. To be better with humans and animals, providing better standards for both.
