We have served various industries, including cargo handling, unit manufacturing, third-party logistics (3PL), and beyond.
The name “ARAS” pays tribute to our late founder, Arastou Etemad Emami.

Recognizing the demand for superior material handling equipment in the Gulf Region, ARAS emerged to fill this crucial market need.
