Four men.
One solid entity.
The late Haj Mahmood J. Al Bunnia founded the company in 1910. In the 1950s, management extended to his three sons. Each brought a different strength — and together they collaborated to make the house one solid entity. Move through their portraits.
Haj Mahmoud
Jassim Al Bunnia
Founded the house in 1910 in Ottoman Baghdad — a barterer who became an exporter of seeds, dates, beans, fruits and wool. He gave one third of his personal equity to charity; the mosque that bears his name was established in 1973. Everything began with him.
Abdul Wahab
Al-Bunnia
The mastermind of the house. The strategist who saw further than the day’s trade — who turned a trading name into a group of companies, sector by sector, and served as its Chairman.
Sa'doun
Al-Bunnia
The international image of Al-Bunnia. He carried the name beyond Iraq — building business in Saudi Arabia and relationships across the region. Where the house needed to be known, Sa'doun was its introduction.
Abdul Latif
Al-Bunnia
The balance of the house — al-mīzān. Nothing crooked passed him: no shortcuts, no exceptions, nothing crooked. He was the measure by which the family’s dealings stayed straight for a century.
They built together.
They rest together.
The founding fathers are part of the mosque itself — they rest in the mausoleum at its side, under the small golden dome, beside what their father built.
