Who Owns Hass Petroleum Group?

The renowned company was founded in 1997 by two blood brothers, Abdinasir Ali Hassan and his younger brother the late Abdirizak Ali Hassan. Ali Hassan is a Kenyan businessman of Somali descent and is currently sitting as the chairman of the group while Mohamud Salat, a young leader is sitting as the Chief Executive Officer of the group.
According to Ali Hassan, the company was established in 1997 just before the 1998 El Nino that destroyed the fuel transportation of the neighboring country, Tanzania. Following the destruction, the lake region fell short of fuel and as usual, the demand for the product rose to attract the attention of Ali Hassan and his brother who at the time was in Mwanza, Tanzania.
After five years of operation, the company built its first gas station in 2002 in now Kisumu County.
