Our History

The remarkable success of Atlantic Gulf Company (AGCO) undoubtedly stems from the insightful vision of its founder, Moulay Mehdi Al Adlouni. A graduate in agronomy engineering from the prestigious National School of Agriculture in Meknes (ENA). He further deepened his expertise with an MBA from ISCAE Casablanca before delving into a master's program in agronomic science, earning a prestigious scholarship of excellence at the University of Kansas in the 1970s.

His journey included a stint in the Middle East, amidst the region's complex socio-economic landscape, providing him with profound insights into the Levant countries. Alongside his wife, Oum Kaltoum Berrada, this experience inspired him to conceive an innovative idea: promoting Moroccan agricultural products in the Gulf countries.

Despite limited financial resources, they undertook the audacious risk of shipping a box sample of fruits packed with makeshift means. Thus, the adventure began with this cardboard box making a one-way journey from Casablanca to Abu Dhabi, unveiling Moroccan products to the Gulf region. This daring bet demanded relentless effort, with Moulay Mehdi spearheading client acquisition while his wife managed administrative affairs. In 1992, Atlantic Gulf Company was born.

The exceptional quality of exported goods, rivalling European standards, swiftly propelled the company to become Morocco's premier official exporter of fruits and vegetables to the Middle East, primarily by airfreight, within a few short years.

Atlantic Gulf Company (AGCO) is proud to continue this legacy of excellence and innovation established by Moulay Mehdi Al Adlouni and his wife, as we strive to further expand our horizons and uphold the highest standards of quality and service in the industry.
