Mr Majid Al-Futtaim visited Japan in 1955 to secure his first automotive franchise. This marked the introduction of Toyota, the first Japanese vehicle in the UAE. Toyota was later supplemented by Lexus, Japan's number one luxury car, and Hino, Japan's number one truck and bus manufacturer.

The company's Garage Equipment, Tyres, Batteries & Accessories Divisions, are successfully marketing a diverse product range which includes Toyo, Taurus and Cheng Shing tyres, Stomil-Olsztyn tyres, G.S & Panasonic batteries and garage equipment, including such brands as Sun Electric, Bradbury, Coats, Technodue, Stenhodge and Emco.
