ALOSCO is the parent company to a growing number of ambitious East African Companies operating in a diverse range of sectors.
History
The first of our businesses was established by Mr Mohamed Senior when, in 1955, he took to the streets of Tanga on foot to sell small goods. From this humble beginning, the business moved into selling clothing and relocated to Songea, where it diversified into farming cashew nuts. A farm that we still own and run to this day.
Change
As Tanzania changed and Mohamed Senior retired the next generation took over and moved the business to Dar es Salaam in 1996. We became the largest distributor of PVC carpets to Tanzania and her neighbours. From here we added a wide range of other home goods and this business became the Home Shopping Centre (HSC).
Growth
In order to support this business we established logistic and clearing companies to ensure efficiency and speedy delivery. We also opened offices in Dubai and China in order to more easily source quality products for the East African market.
Family
Today the Mohamed brothers oversee 9 ALOSCO companies. Our philosophy is that family runs deeper than blood. Our employees, our customers and clients, Tanzania and East Africa are all our family. These are not just empty words but are the core of our business. We are committed to the economic development of both Tanzania and the region.
