Welcome to our Salam Global
Years of
Experience
“God willed… and through vision, perseverance, and hard work, it happened.”
With these simple yet powerful words, Late Dr. B. Ahmed Hajee Mohiudeen laid the foundation for what would become one of Thumbay’s most respected business legacies. When he established his wood processing unit in the late 1950s, he could not have imagined the scale of growth the company would one day achieve.
Founded in 1957, the B.A. Group grew under his wisdom and was strengthened by the involvement of his three sons. Together, they shaped a business known for its integrity, craftsmanship, and diversification across timber, housing, education, healthcare, real estate, and international trade.
Today, the organisation moves forward under the focused leadership of B. Abdul Salam, who provides unified leadership as the driving force behind its ongoing progress. His decades of experience, strategic thinking, and dedication to excellence continue to guide the company to new heights.
Under his leadership, the rich heritage of the B.A. Group remains firmly preserved, while he introduces a broader and more global direction through the identity of Salam Global. This evolving presence reflects his commitment to expanding capabilities, strengthening partnerships, and positioning the organisation for long-term, sustainable growth.
