The history of Jengan business dates back to the early nineteen-fifties when Dubai was emerging as a maritime trade centre of Middle East. In 1953, late Ibrahim Jengan started his business in Dubai with a partner. Later, he broke away from the partnership and concentrated solo on retailing textiles, clothing & fishing-needs as per the demands of the then-market. The flurry of economic activities in the region, consequent to the oil-strike, boosted the Jengan business also. When the govt. administrative set-up in Dubai was reorganized, Jengan was among the first few to get a formal trade licence, in the year 1963. Hence, the formal birth of Jengan is taken as the year of 1963.

The large-scale works on major infrastructure, initiated by the Emirates, reflected in Jengan business also. Responding to the emergent market-demands, Jengan re-oriented its business with a strategic switch-over to engineering goods: initially spare parts for engines; then portable engines, pump sets, generators and onto equipment for construction, agriculture/horticulture. Inter alia, the emphasis on quality & business ethics earned niche re-exports market for Jengan in the MENA region. Consequent to the demise of Mr. Ibrahim Jengan in 1993, his son Mr. Abdulla Jengan, a graduate in business management, took over the reins of the family business.

Mr. Abdulla Jengan re-organised the business set-up and then concentrated on professionalizing and expanding the activities & product-range.

Gradually Jengan marked its presence in Oman, Iran & India; apart from branching out within UAE. The Year 2003, the 10th year of Mr. Abdulla Jengan at the helm, proved to be the watershed for Jengan. The organisation was subjected to a total revamp, based on authentic studies by reputed management consultants. The marketing activities were broadly divisionalized into three: Construction, Agriculture & Project Engineering Services.

It has been boom times for the UAE economy. In tune with the changing times around, Jengan shed its image as a trader and emerged as an engineering solution provider in its chosen fields. All along, the organisation stuck to the guiding principles of the founder: honest business practices and absolute quality in sales & services. In short, the second generation of Jengan succeeded in blending traditional values with modern management to formulate tactics to strategise the vision for the organisation.
