Mezzan Holding is a Kuwaiti food, healthcare and consumer products group whose own reports trace its origins to the 1940s, when Jassim Mohammad Ali Al Wazzan opened a retail store in Kuwait's Altararih Souk selling rice, sugar and other staples. The present holding company was incorporated on 3 August 1999 and listed on Boursa Kuwait on 11 June 2015. It manufactures and distributes more than 34,000 stock keeping units through 34 subsidiaries and around 6,700 employees in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Iraq.
