About Us

Five Decades Advancing the UAE's Lubricant & Vehicle Wash Industry

Established under the trade name Ghanim Trading LLC in 1971 by Ali Ghanem Al Falasi during the same year as the official formation of the UAE, GT played a pivotal role in advancing the lubricant industry across the country.

Starting with its introduction of Tier-1 global lubricant manufacturer Fuchs from Germany, GT became committed to delivering quality and innovation to the UAE's industrial and automotive sectors.

Across the years, GT formed strategic partnerships and became an official distributor of quality industrial lubricants, chemical solutions, machinery and equipment that supported the longevity and optimal performance of industrial operations, washing operations and automotive fleets.

Today, GT evolved into an industrial optimisation partner, offering integrated operation solutions that aim to improve the performance, increase uptime and lower the costs of industrial operations.
