Chairman of the Board, Zqan Holding
Bio
Anar Mammadov was born in 1981 and attended American Intercontinental University in London graduating with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Business Administration. Mammadov has been working with ZQAN Group since 2005, and guided its rebranding as Garant Holding.
As the saying goes, “the deeper one gets into something, the more involved they become.” I have always longed and pursued the establishment and promotion of a holding company that could gain access to any market in the world. Thus, through hard work I managed to make my life-long dream a reality, and I launched ZQAN Holding in 2000. Initially, ZQAN Holding’s activities and work primarily covered the business areas of finance, hospitality, construction, and transportation. Starting in 2013, we will focus on the production and services sectors as well. Our main target is to develop local business and stimulate the improvement of Azerbaijan’s business ties throughout the world. We are also planning to implement active operations in the areas of agricultural products and the food industry. Our key priority is to become a company that supports the economic growth of the country and assists it in assuming a good standing in various world markets. In addition, we seek to promote Azerbaijan as a developing, flourishing, and progressive country in the business world. Our motto is “creating national values for Azerbaijan,” and we always stay true to this idea. We are eager to enlarge Azerbaijan’s sphere of influence. We do our best to establish close working relationships with other countries and build a strong business network. A good business person, outside of his or her native state, should strengthen the image of their country and be supportive of it in every way.
To be successful, a company must have branches as well as roots. As a unit institution, we are interested in the success of all of our companies. I am working to focus on the activities of each company and the overall structure of ZQAN Holding. We, as a company, are striving to do our utmost to be successful in every business area. The development line of each company is clarified and determined as a result of relevant research and analysis. Although we have both successful companies and slightly weaker ones, we strive to capitalize on the best aspects of each of our companies.
The availability of building materials allows us to realize the management of quality and control our standards. Construction developed on our behalf—residential structures, tourist attractions, and public facilities—meets our high-quality standards. We control the quality, durability, and reliability of our materials. These are the main and most significant factors in the sector and they affect the very culture of construction. They are also indicators of our attitude and respect toward the citizens of the country and the people who will use our structures.
Azerbaijan has already achieved huge success in terms of various economic reforms. Today, we are citizens of a country that is able to compete on an international level, with new economic progress and impressive achievements. The economic indications of the last decade are very promising and praiseworthy. Our economic growth is rapidly increasing and progressing, as we achieve new targets and goals throughout the country.
We expect 2013 to be fruitful and promising for ZQAN Holding. We are planning to outlay simultaneous large-scale projects within several sectors. We are going to launch projects of significant value in the agricultural and tourism sectors. Furthermore, 2013 will see the opening of a poultry factory and a branch of the Rixos Hotel in the region of Guba. We are also planning to open a new professional golf course for the public, which I believe will promote the further development of the sport and make it popular among all walks of life. The opening of Trump Tower Baku, a well-known and global brand that constructs residential structures, will happen in 2013. It will be not only a new building, but also a modern and original piece of the city’s architecture. Moreover, several important projects will be carried out and accomplished on behalf of the Azerbaijan America Alliance. The realization of these projects will cover the areas of education and culture. Outreach campaigns, cultural events, and mutual bilateral educational exchange programs held in different cities and states of the US will lead to firm collaboration between the two countries.
