About Us

The Story of Iqbal Sabri, Founder of ADIT In 1963, a young and ambitious man named Iqbal Sabri began his journey in the world of business. Starting as a sales agent in an electrical retail store, Iqbal quickly realized that the path to success was not about simply selling products—it was about building relationships, understanding people’s needs, and delivering quality service. With a vision for something greater, he founded Abu Dhabi International Traders (ADIT), driven by one clear ambition: to create a company that would become synonymous with trust, quality, and excellence in the UAE. Iqbal's early days were filled with challenges. But his unwavering commitment to his work, combined with his keen business acumen, allowed him to overcome every obstacle. He worked tirelessly to establish ADIT’s name, focusing on offering the best service and forming strong relationships with his clients. His ability to connect with people and build lasting relationships laid the foundation for what would become one of the most respected businesses in the region.

In 1980, Iqbal’s son, Kamal Sabri, joined the company, bringing fresh energy and new ideas. Together, father and son worked side by side, strengthening the business and pushing it to new heights. One of their most significant achievements came when ADIT secured a strategic position with ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company), cementing its reputation as a trusted supplier in the oil and gas industry. Thanks to this pivotal partnership, ADIT grew exponentially, becoming the number one choice for a wide range of clients across the UAE. Under Iqbal’s leadership, ADIT not only became a leading business in its field but also built a reputation for delivering on promises and exceeding client expectations. He was known for his honesty, integrity, and commitment to quality—principles that continue to guide the company today. Iqbal Sabri’s ability to forge valuable connections and cultivate a loyal clientele is one of the key reasons ADIT remains a prominent name in the market. His legacy is not just in the business he built but in the values he instilled—values that are now passed down through the generations. ADIT’s success story is a testament to his vision, work ethic, and unwavering dedication to excellence. Today, as ADIT continues to thrive under the leadership of his son Kamal Sabri and grandson Zeeshan Sabri, the principles that Iqbal Sabri laid down continue to shape the company’s future, keeping the foundation strong as it continues to grow and innovate.
