Founder and Chairman Lt. Mr. Shoeb E. Shums receiving award from Lt. President of India Mr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed for his endless service to the Rubber Industry

Founded in 1974 by the visionary Mr. Shoeb. E. Shums, SHAMA stands as a testament to resilience, determination, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. What began as a small venture has evolved into a thriving family business, shaped by the unwavering commitment of its founder.

Mr. Shoeb. E. Shums, overcoming early hardships, embarked on a journey from menial odd jobs to becoming a purchase manager in the cycle tyre business. The closure of the company he worked for due to labor disputes became the catalyst for the establishment of SHAMA in 1974. With the support of contacts, business knowledge, and assistance from friends, family, and suppliers, Mr. Shoeb. E. Shums, alongside his wife, faced challenges head-on, dedicating years of hard work to build a dependable company.

Recognition came in the form of a prestigious gold medal from the President of India, Mr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, honoring Mr. Shoeb. E. Shums' dedication and contributions to the rubber sector.

The emergence of the next generation symbolized a crucial shift in our trajectory. Fueled by fresh perspectives and a global outlook, we entered the realm of international markets, transcending local boundaries. The incorporation of synthetic materials and rubber chemicals contributed to the expanded diversification of SHAMA's product portfolio.

Mr. Shoeb. E. Shums' vision extended beyond borders, urging the establishment of a firm in the United Arab Emirates. Despite challenges, Shama International FZC was founded in the Ajman Free Zone, providing the freedom to explore global markets, create distinctive product names, and enter the lucrative lubricants sector.

While our beloved founder, Mr. Shoeb. E .Shums may have passed away, his legacy endures in the flourishing global business of SHAMA. Today, with a young and dynamic managerial structure, we continue to uphold his values and mission—providing customers with consistent quality polymers and rubber raw materials that adhere to specifications and offer economic value.

At SHAMA, we celebrate the past, embrace the present, and look forward to a future inspired by the remarkable journey of our founder.
