About Us
Our Story
Welcome to Natimex, your trusted partner in global trade since 1995. Founded by Nabil Tohme as "Cotres," we have grown from a small startup in Lebanon into a leading import-export company. Our journey is fueled by passion, innovation, and a commitment to quality.
The Visionary Beginnings
In the vibrant year of 1995, in the heart of Lebanon, Nabil Tohme embarked on an entrepreneurial journey that would exceed borders and cultures. Originally named "Cotres," our beginnings were humble, yet our aspirations were as high as the cedar trees of Lebanon. Our mission was simple but ambitious: to bridge the Eastern and Middle Eastern worlds through the import and export of quality goods.
A Name with Purpose
Our expanding horizons necessitated a new identity—Natimex. This name embodies our ethos of natural exchange and mutual growth, reflecting our evolving aspirations.
