Starco International Company | 1958

A Legacy of Excellence: Innovation, Growth and Global Reach

Founded in 1958 by Nasser Al Hinnawi, Starco has grown from its origins in the textile business to become a multifaceted conglomerate headquartered in Kuwait. With a strategic shift in the late 1990s towards franchising, Starco has since expanded its operations across various sectors, including fashion, food and beverage (F&B), e-commerce, and restaurant concept creation. Today, under the leadership of CEO Jamal Al Hinnawi, Starco continues to honor its legacy while driving innovation and growth in the global market.

Starco’s diverse portfolio includes several prominent companies such as Fashion International Group (FIG), Hinnawi International Group (HIG), FAME, BEVAVA, Global Gastronomy Group (GGG), and D&H. Each entity specializes in different areas, from fashion and tech to premium food distribution and culinary excellence. With over 35 franchises, 150+ stores, and a dedicated workforce of more than 1,000 employees, Starco is a powerhouse in the franchising world. We nurture our partnership brands, treating them like family, because we believe that acting as a franchisee is the beginning of a long-lasting relationship that must be cared for and cherished. This dynamic approach allows Starco to remain at the forefront of industry trends, delivering exceptional value and quality to partners and customers worldwide.
