In 1919 Mohammad Rafie Husain Marafie the third generation member of the Marafie family founded Mohammad Rafie Husain Marafie Company which served as the foundation for the present day Marafie Group. His vision and farsightedness had inspired the transforming of earlier trading activities into an organized business.

In 1976 the various activities of the Marafie group were reconstructed for better management and growth. The group entered into new areas as opportunities arose with inevitable reorganizations along the way. From the general trading activities, which form its base, the group has diversified into real estate, contracting, engineering, printing, manufacturing and consultancy.

Nowadays, the group activities feature uniqueness, specialization and selectivity. They cover different business domains of trading, engineering, manufacturing, health, industry, real estate, investment and services..
