Tawoos LLC was established in 1982 by His Highness Sayyid Shabib bin Taimur Al Said. Initially, the company concentrated on trading interests in the defense and hydrocarbon industries, but gradually the focus turned towards developing businesses to meet the rapidly growing service sector.
The organization grew by the adoption of foreign business ideas and management and then converting this foreign expertise into locally-based management to reduce costs and improve local effectiveness. Today elements of the Tawoos Group have evolved into the largest entities in the service sector.
In 1996, Tawoos was the first family-owned company to seek a public listing on the Muscat Securities Market, via an IPO for some of its companies which were grouped under a Holding Company called Renaissance Holdings SAOG, now known as Renaissance Services SAOG. The company has grown by focussing its efforts on providing cost-effective, quality services to international standards. Most group companies have ISO accreditation to as well as other industry recognized achievement and quality standards.
