Webster's dictionary defines quality as "a degree or grade of excellence or worth". For the best companies in today's global business environment, the term means much, much more. Ahmed Nasser Al Rayes, President and Managing Director, Al Rayes Group sees quality as the cornerstone of his enterprise, and the ability to enhance it as the defining principle of profitability.

AL- Rayes Laundry & Dry Cleaning was established in 1980 by the proprietor Mr. Ahmed Nasser Al Rayes. We started our operation with the Plant located in Wakra, Main Road of Wakra city. Later there were some expansions made by opening some Branches under name of NASCO, which is also under the umbrella of Al Rayes Laundry & Dry Cleaning. The purpose of these branches is for pickup & delivery of laundered items which made it convenient for our customers staying in different locations

Al-Rayes Group has over 16 companies under the umbrella and employs over 1900 people. The companies include Ahmed Al Rayes Trading for general trading, imports and distribution and Ahmed Al Rayes Gas and Al Shamal Gas Centre for distribution of gas cylinders for domestic purposes. The two gas companies between them own 36 vehicles that have been distributing cylinders for the last 30 years. Ahmed however, is of the opinion that it is time for Qatar to have piped gas distribution. "Other GCC countries are trying it and it seems to be working well. What we need to make sure is we have secure piping and with all these new infrastructure projects, the timing does seem perfect,'' he adds.
