Our story

55 years of livestock trade across continents

From 1969 to today, Sarles Overseas for Investment has built a trusted global network sourcing quality lambs and cattle across Europe, Africa and South America.

Founded 1969

Five decades of livestock expertise across four continents

Sarles Overseas for Investment traces its roots to 1969, when Fawzi Allahham founded the Lahham Group. After Fawzi, Talal Allahham took the helm, expanded the business, and established Lahham International for Food Security. Mohammad Allahham later became CEO, further accelerating growth as Sarles Overseas for Investment emerged as a dedicated livestock import‑export and vessel chartering company. Today, we source lambs from Romania, Spain, South Africa and Georgia, and cattle from Brazil and Colombia. We’ve built a farm in Al Mafraq, Jordan with capacity for 80,000 lambs and 10,000 cattle, supported by a dedicated feedlot. Our livestock vessels handle imports and exports, and we offer vessel chartering services to support the region’s food supply chain.
