The rise of Holmarcom Group is linked to that of a family that brought in its ambitions, values and stability. Its history is that of a succession of achievements led by a visionary family: The late Abdelkader Bensalah, well-known founder renowned for his ambition, seriousness and honesty, and then his son, Mohamed Hassan Bensalah, who took up the torch with the others members of the Board of Directors, in order to keep up the momentum of development and growth. The late Abdelkader Bensalah, a true visionary and combatant, managed to lead his Group towards success in the 1960s. He did not just acquire stakes in many companies, but he made of the diversification policy his hobbyhorse, taking over Les Eaux Minérales d’Oulmès, Le Comptoir Métallurgique Marocain, Orbonor Textile et Orbonor Céréales. In the early 70s, the late Abdelkader Bensalah opened himself the door of insurance by the acquisition of Entente, Al Amane and Atlanta. After the death of the late Abdelkader Bensalah in 1993, his son Mohamed Hassan Bensalah took over the Group as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. With perspicacity and lucidity, he could perpetuate the family assets by restructuring the Group, before launching a development phase, particularly by entering into several alliances and partnerships. From human adventures to industrial performance, from tradition and know-how to innovation, Holmarcom Group has since continued its development.
