Since its establishment in 1993, Eastern Holding has become a business group of note in the Middle East. This is due to the group's interesting legacy, which has repeatedly set new trends and redefined business understanding of just how diverse and adventurous an organization can be.

The group began when a handful of keen investors saw a promise in a pioneering Jordanian company that specialized in the manufacture of cast stainless steel deep-well vertical turbine pumps designed for pumping water with a high concentration of salt, sulphur and other corrosive agents. The company was called Arab Pump Manufacturing (APM), and it formed the stepping stone of what later became one of the most varied holding companies in the world.

Shortly after its initial investment in APM, the group’s business entities expanded to include 8 additional companies operating in 5 different industries, including aviation and supporting services such as ( training, catering and duty free), water treatment, security, education, and hotels and services. The group still aspires to evolve and continuously delves into new territories with a portfolio that is ever-embracing of progressiveness.
