When the Honorable Chairman, Ahmed K Darwish became the outright owner of the Arab Trade Centre in 1983, the ATC’s activities had tremendously increased by embarking on the importation of foodstuff, confectionery, cutlery and kitchenware, gift items, stationery items, textiles, undergarments and tobacco products, all coming from other Arab countries, Europe and the Far East.
