More Than Three Decades in Business
From a small trading company in Mogadishu to where we are today
Founded in 1990, Shakir General started as a small automotive parts trading company in Mogadishu. Over the years we've grown into a name people in Somalia recognize for quality tyres, lubricants, and reliable service.
Today, we serve customers across Somalia, from individual vehicle owners to large fleet operators, with a product range that spans tyres, lubricants, tubes, belts, and grease — our own Shakir-branded lines alongside partner brands like Aeolus, MRF, and Alpet.
