Our Story
Our story spans over 70 years of business expertise, passed down through three generations of a family deeply rooted in entrepreneurial excellence. Starting as the Royal food packers, founded by T.M Zainudheen, we began our journey with a canning factory before expanding into seafood under the banner of VME in 1983. VME quickly grew into a renowned name in the global seafood industry, excelling as an exporter, buyer, and reseller of a diverse range of products, including frozen foods, frozen halal meats, and frozen processed foods. Building on VME’s success, we evolved into a conglomerate that laid the foundation for Alga Group in 1999. Initially focusing on metal and metal ore derivatives, Alga Group made significant strides in the domestic and international markets, dealing in commodities such as HMS 1 & 2, copper cathodes, copper millberry, aluminium ingots, and copper ingots. These achievements were driven by strong, long-standing partnerships with mines, steel factories, refineries, and authorized agents, enabling us to consistently deliver exceptional value and reliability to our clients.
Recognizing the critical role of oil and petroleum in powering the global economy, Alga Group strategically expanded into the energy sector. Guided by meticulous industry analysis, we established operations as buyers, resellers, and facilitators of EN590 diesel, Jet A1 fuel, and other petroleum derivatives. Our success in this highly competitive industry stems from our direct and trusted relationships with refineries, authorized stockholders, and titleholders, ensuring a seamless and reliable supply chain. Today, Alga Group is not only a trusted name in oil and petroleum but is also expanding into the procurement and sale of lithium and lithium compounds, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions. Our journey is a testament to our commitment to innovation, reliability, and building long-term partnerships. With a legacy of excellence and a forward- thinking approach, Alga Group continues to shape industries and deliver unmatched value to our global clientele.
