History

until 1980

Mr. Munawer Ahmad first started as a small farmer growing basmati rice in Pakistan (in the Rabwah region). Within a short time he developed through his entrepreneurial talent to one of the largest and most renowned rice manufacturers of Pakistan.

1989

Nine years later, his son Ahmed Javed emigrated to Germany to market his father's rice there. However, he quickly recognized the high demand for other foods and decided to expand the product range by founding a small grocery store called Star Asian Store in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg.

In the meantime, the original retail business, with the support of Mr. Ahmed Javed's sons, has become a successful family business.In addition to the existing retail business, the focus has shifted to wholesale and as a result the size of the company has increased fivefold.
