Founded in June 1993, Alinda’s began as a family vision, named by combining the founders' names, Ali and Linda. Our first venture, Alinda's Deli, opened at 38 Batterymarch Street in Boston and within ten years grew to four locations across Boston, Cambridge, and Tewksbury. In July 2006, after transitioning out of the restaurant industry, we expanded globally as Alinda's Trading. With offices in Dubai and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, our diversified portfolio spans the import and export of:
• Heavy diesel engines and construction equipment
• Processed and packaged food products
• Second-hand clothing and shoes
By December 2010, we partnered with Big Salzburg Trucks Trading to scale operations through high-quality European imports, trailers, truck engines, and components.
In January 2011, our footprint expanded further when I co-founded Kalaet Halab General Trading LLC with longtime friend M. Ziad Mouslemani. This venture enhanced transportation and logistics between the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, continuing our mission of market connectivity.
