In 1966 Mr. Abdelkareem Hatahet started his career in paint manufacturing when calcium carbonate was imported from outside the region until the idea of opening a calcium carbonate plant came up taking advantage of the availability of world-class limestone deposits in Southern Jordan. Mr. Hatahet founded Jordan Carbonate in 1979 to produce ground calcite for use primarily in paint-related industries. Year by year the company evolved and became the leading producer in the MENA market.

After his graduation from London; Ayman A. Hatahet started his career in his father’s company in 1983.
