So-Safe Group of Companies

Sultan Mahmood
Founder and CEO
A man of various tastes, Sultan Mahmoud has built a formidable reputation for himself as a mature and successful businessman in the UAE. Educated from St. Patrrick's School Mauripur, Karachi, he started off as an insurance salesman in Pakistan and currently runs the So-Safe Group of Companies - an established name in Pakistan, the UAE and much of the globe.
Mahmoud has always been driven by a sense of service to people. By enabling people to enjoy safe water, he was able to fuse a sound business idea with a powerful social purpose. So-Safe Water Technologies was started in Karachi in 1990. Six years later, Mahmoud set up the company's factory in Sharjah. It was soon followed by another plant in Dubai. Today, his firm supplies water filters for residential and commercial use to more than 60 countries.
"So-Safe Technologies may have become a household name and one of the global leaders in water filtration products, but I am always looking to add new features to make a better product that can adapt to market needs and stay ahead of competition," Mahmoud notes.
