HAMWIEH ENGINEERING & TRADING was founded in 1975 at the Syrian capital Damascus, starting with an operation limited to Engineering and Contracting; whereas the company executed many projects under contracts with the Syrian government, like schools, level warehouses, factories, public squares and maintenance workshops, until 1979.

In 1980, the company's operation moved to the Kingdome of Saudi Arabia, and lasted there until 1987, a period that witnessed the conclusion of many contracts, ranging from schools, to residential and commercial buildings, as well as private villas, and roads; all in partnership with Saudi businessmen.

In 1988 HAMWIEH E&T resumed its operation in Syria, adding to its engineering works the domains of trade (import/export, real estate) and advertising.

In 2002, a new establishment was inaugurated by HAMWIEH E&T, dedicated to the treatment of the notoriously solid Syrian stone; whereas its field of specialty ranges from the cutting of the stone, to its crafting, polishing, and shaping, and eventually exporting it to several countries like the United States, Europe, Greece and the Arabian Gulf states.

And with 2003 came a new chapter in the history of HAMWIEH E&T, with its importing of raw material for the textile industry from a number of international companies, to the benefit of textile factories all over Syria.
