Founded in 1958 by Nasser Al Hinnawi, Starco International Company has grown into a leading conglomerate headquartered in Kuwait. Initially established as a textile business, Starco transitioned its core operations to franchising fashion brands in the late 1990s. Under the visionary leadership of CEO Jamal Al Hinnawi, Nasser’s son, the company has expanded its portfolio to include a diverse range of businesses.
While fashion franchising remains at the heart of Starco’s operations, the company also owns and operates subsidiaries focused on food and beverage (F&B) franchising, e-commerce, and creating innovative restaurant concepts. Additionally, Starco retains its roots with a dedicated textile distribution subsidiary. This multifaceted approach has allowed Starco to establish a significant presence across various industries, reflecting its commitment to excellence and growth. With its headquarters still in Kuwait, Starco International continues to honor its legacy while driving forward into new and dynamic markets.
