The group is financially strong with hardly any loan commitments for its normal operations. The net assets are in excess of US$ 1 billion and the group employs over 3000 people.

The success of the group has largely been due to its ability to forge long standing alliances, joint ventures, dealerships and licence arrangements with leading worldwide organisations such as Nissan, Michelin, Castrol, Renault and General Electric. These relationships have been carefully nurtured so that the Al Rostamani Group now touches the lives of people in the UAE and other GCC countries in many different ways. Investment in several european countries and relationships with Japanese, British, French, German, Dutch and Indian companies are steps to spreading its influence further afield.
