About Zartasha

Three decades of trading heritage, five industries strong

Zartasha General Trading L.L.C. is a leader in the trading industry, known for expertise in polymer, IT peripherals, marine products, commodities and non-ferrous metals. Our mission is to deliver unparalleled service and top-quality products to clients in the UAE and beyond.

Our Story

Founded in 1991 by Muhammad Akram

What began as a single-desk trading operation in Dubai has grown, under the founding leadership of Muhammad Akram, into a diversified general trading house serving clients across the Gulf, South Asia, East Africa and beyond. Our growth has always followed the same principle: earn trust one shipment at a time, and let quality and consistency speak for the business.

Today, Zartasha operates five distinct trading divisions — each staffed by specialists who understand the technical specifications, certifications and logistics realities of their respective markets — unified under one shipping and logistics-driven operating model.
