Company Profile

Founded in 1962 by the Farraj Family, the company is headquartered in Amman Jordan. It remains today a family owned and operated business. In its early years the Farah Trading and Contracting Company developed into one of Jordan’s largest contracting companies, responsible for the construction of many large buildings in and around Amman. Building on the business and management expertise gained in the original contracting business a decision was taken to redirect the company’s resources and energies toward the manufacture and sale of circuit protection devices and electrical distribution technology. The developing electrical distribution systems throughout the Middle East provided a need for sophisticated products that would meet both local and international standards. For 35 years, the Farah Trading & Contracting Company was the exclusive licensee of Westinghouse Electric and its successor company Cutler/Hammer (Eaton) for electrical distribution products in the Middle East, continually adding to their warehousing, manufacturing, modification and test facilities. In 2009, the license agreements with Eaton were terminated to allow Farah Trading to manufacture and market a proprietary brand of Circuit Protection Devices. In February 2010, Farah Trading and Contracting Company reached an agreement to distribute General Electric (Electrical Distribution Products) in the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman; to complement their own brand of Circuit Protection Devices.
