MEET HAASHOW
Haashow General Trading Company was established in Mogadishu, Somalia in 2000, with its office in Hawlwadaag district. The company was founded to compete in East Africa, the Gulf States and Asia, and today works across construction and real estate, international trade, logistics, petroleum supply and agriculture.
We have served international clients and UN organisations, including logistics for the World Food Programme since 2007, delivering food and non-food items from overseas to warehouses across Somalia. We are a member of the Somali Chamber of Commerce and a registered civil works contractor with the Ministry of Public Works & Reconstruction.
OUR MISSION
We view ourselves as partners with our clients, employees, community and environment. We aim to be a leading company in the East and Horn of Africa, built on quality goods and services.
CORE VALUES
Respect for clients, employees and suppliers, team spirit and integrity guide every contract we take on — honesty matters as much as the bottom line.

Haashow was the first company to introduce interlock paving on Mogadishu’s roads, now used throughout the city.
