History

The company was founded and registered on November 24, 1999 by Network Solutions LLC. The portal was created by Al Hilal Group Managing Director Ronnie Middleton.

The first version of Trade Arabia was developed and maintained by Mariner Technologies, which eventually sold its company to the Al Hilal Group for maintaining the portal in-house. Samuel Thomas was appointed as its first manager.

From its inception in 1999 until 2006, the site underwent three revamps of design and branding before the current version.

Trade Arabia is a strategic partner of The Middle East Association[1]
