Eversheds Sutherland has advised Al Mahhar Holding Q.P.S.C., a Qatari Public Shareholding Company listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange (“Al Mahhar”), a leading provider of specialised services and products to the energy and infrastructure sectors in Qatar, on the successful completion of its acquisition of the remaining 49% stake in European Equipment Company W.L.L. (“EEC”) through a wholly owned subsidiary, Qatar Welding and Fabrication Supplies (QFAB) W.L.L.

EEC is a key player in the Qatari construction equipment market, specialising in the sale and rental of machinery and serving as the exclusive distributor of the Wirtgen Group’s road construction products in the country. Prior to this transaction, QFAB held a 51% stake in EEC.

The acquisition was approved by Al Mahhar’s shareholders at the Extraordinary General Assembly held on 28 May 2025. This move aligns with Al Mahhar’s strategic objectives to enhance operational and financial control across its subsidiaries, streamline group governance, and reinforce its presence in the construction equipment sector.

The Eversheds Sutherland team advising on the transaction was led by Qatar-based Partner Samer Sarkis, with support from Senior Associates Mostafa Gharib and Sundeep Thandi, and Associate Mohammed Alaboushi.
