History

We’ve been in the business for 45 years, and with history comes expertise.

In 1967, Dr. Ribhi Hamadeh, the former director of the Royal Clinic and third licensed pharmacist in the history of Saudi Arabia, founded the Hamadeh Drugstore in the centre of downtown Riyadh. The company was specialized in the trade and supply of pharmaceuticals, and was the foundation of a fast-growing organization that expanded to medical supplies, medical equipment, emergency services, and cosmetics.

The company, which became known as Bassam Trading, later capitalized on Saudi Arabia’s economic boom by moving into the Hospitality sector, delivering quality solutions to Government Institutions, Hotels and VIP individuals. Today, BTC is active in major tenders, full-scale turnkey projects, and on-the-ground direct sales across the GCC.
