Ommat-Arab Poultry Breeders’ Success Story
in the Middle East
In 1989, former Managing Director of LOHMANN TIERZUCHT, Mr. Alfons Hüttmann, and eng. Hussain saeed Bahri, founder and chairman of Ommat Group, signed an agreement for distribution
of layer chicks for Gulf Councel Countries (GCC: saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab
emirates and Oman). In those early days nobody could foresee the impressive expansion Ommat
would realise in the years to come
The basis for the success of Ommat was the vision of
Mr. Hussain Bahri: no compromises to be the best
supplier of layer chicks in the region, by pursuing excellence in providing the utmost care for chicks, employees
and clients. state of the art facilities, a regional network of
sales and service staff and, last but not least, excellent genetics, which fit well in the challenging conditions in the Middle
east region, have contributed to the success of Ommat.

large similarities with ew-Group. In the early years, Ommat
Jeddah annually produced about 3 million layer chicks for the
