Since its inception, some four decades ago as a family enterprise, the Cyrus Group has today, progressively evolved into a truly multi-national and multi-cultural Corporation with strategic partners and operations internationally. Cyrus Group began operations in 1977 importing bulk commodities, primarily foodstuffs and fertilizers. Recognizing the market need for real quality control in the importation of grain products, Cyrus was the first in the region to import bulk rice with upgrading and repackaging at point of destination for wholesale distribution to Government and private institutions.
Through its dedication to innovation, employee development and sustainable thinking, Cyrus Group of Companies continues to serve a multitude of regional industries with the future in mind
Family businesses are the bedrock of local, national and regional economies around the world.
According to a 2019 study by Family Capital, the world’s 750 largest family-owned enterprises alone employ around 30 million people and generate incomes of more than $9 trillion.
Key to the success of such businesses is bridging what Deloitte calls the chasm between long- and short-term priorities, a major challenge facing generations of families as control passes down which can have an adverse impact on forward-thinking attitudes and approaches to innovation.
