Zaid Alkazemi the founder; an enthusiastic, hardworking, and charismatic individual; started his business career at the age of 16. He truly believed that knowledge, together with determination, are the foundation of success.

He started by learning the principles of supply and demand, accounting, and foreign languages through a small position in one of the local trading houses in Kuwait. These skills helped him to realize that an alternative source to local trade must be found. His analysis led him to travel to neighboring countries in an expedition that he would later live to thank God for.

When he returned to Kuwait, he convinced Haj Abdulrahman Albisher to open a commodity trading house that turned to be so successful leading to him becoming a full partner in a tear time. This unique partnership was the first step to the conglomerate known by its two-letter logo AA, short for (Abdulrahman Albisher & Zaid Alkazemi Co.).

Zaid Alkazemi & Sons Co. was established in 1974 as a general trading and contracting company. In 2001 ZAK Solutions for Computer Systems became a separate entity from the group. The strong business growth year on year led to NBK Capital taking a major stake in ZAK in 2008 followed by AlShayeh Investment Cap Corp taking a stake in 2009. Year 2009 also marked the beginning of ZAK’s geographical expansion by opening branches in Bahrain and Egypt followed by other branches in UAE, Tanzania, KSA and UK.

ZAK today stands as one of the key ICT providers in Kuwait and the region with over 500 professionals servicing Public, Oil & Gas and Financial Sectors. ZAK enjoys long term strategic partnerships with international technology providers such as CISCO, DELL, Microsoft and SAP, to name a few. ZAK has solid plans for the future relying on its sound track record of success to lead its clients into the Digital Transformation era.
