Kordofan → Riyadh → Tomorrow
1947
A name people trusted.
From a market in Al-Ubayyid, the IMTAR name became associated with organization, fairness, civic duty, and family responsibility.
Institutional Role
The parent institution behind the IMTAR name.
Before IMTAR is a group of companies, it is a name carried across generations. IMTAR Organization exists to protect that name, preserve its memory, guide its governance, and direct its public-service mission. It is the home of the founder's story, the family charter, the humanitarian foundation, and the principles that give meaning to the commercial group.
Foundation
Organizing charity, takafl, waqf, and community programs with dignity and accountability.
Holding

Legacy
From Al-Ubayyid to the wider world.
In 1947, the IMTAR story began in Al-Ubayyid, Kordofan, through the work of Ismail Mohammed Tahir. His life moved between commerce, civic leadership, education, industry, and regional relationships. He helped organize markets, supported trade systems, participated in industrial ventures, and treated knowledge as a public trust. IMTAR Organization carries this legacy forward, not as nostalgia, but as responsibility.

Legacy is not memory. It is responsibility.
The archive connects family memory to public trust, making the story visible, careful, and accountable.
Saudi Archive Record
A Saudi relationship preserved in the family archive
Family archive
Among the most important records preserved in the IMTAR family archive is an image of Ismail Mohammed Tahir with King Faisal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, reflecting part of the historic connection between the IMTAR family and the Saudi Royal Family.
This image is not decoration. It is a visual witness to a relationship that extended from Kordofan, Sudan, to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, built on respect, trust, and regional connection.
For IMTAR Organization, the image represents a bridge between the founder’s story in Sudan and the continuation of the IMTAR legacy from Riyadh today.
Archive
The images are not decoration. They are evidence.
The IMTAR archive preserves the people, places, and moments that shaped the family's contribution to commerce, civic leadership, education, and public service.
