Green Coast Enterprises
Abdulghaffar Hussain started the firm in 1977 after building positions in piping and coatings since the late 1960s. The family office grew from those industrial roots into a holding structure that still owns stakes in manufacturing and real estate. Wealth traces directly to his early trading and production companies. Green Coast allocates through direct co-investments and SPVs in real estate, private equity, infrastructure and private credit. It holds manufacturing assets in piping systems and packaging, renewable platforms such as SirajPower, and urban properties in Jumeirah, Al Barsha and Deira. Confirmed positions include Hepworth PME factories in Oman and Qatar plus the 2020 EGFCO joint venture in Egypt. The firm also participates in fund-of-funds and hedge fund commitments. Geographic reach covers the UAE, Egypt, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, other Middle East markets, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. BlackRock co-invested $400M alongside the firm in Positive Zero. The office employs an undisclosed number of professionals at its single Dubai headquarters. Mohammed Abdulghaffar Hussain serves as Executive Director and Vice Chairman while Mansoor N. Hussain runs Green Coast Real Estate. Adjacent vehicles include the Abdulghaffar Hussain Foundation. Mohammed Abdulghaffar Hussain maintains membership in the Dubai chapter of YPO. In 2024 the firm completed the sale of a 51 percent stake in Corys Piping Systems to Georg Fischer, forming a regional joint venture for flow solutions. Green Coast structures ownership through long-term joint ventures with partners such as Georg Fischer and Jotun rather than short-term fund cycles. Family members occupy key operating roles, creating direct succession oversight of both industrial subsidiaries and the investment portfolio. This architecture keeps decision rights inside the family while allowing selective external co-investors on specific platforms.
