History:
The founder, Mr. NoorMohamed Haji Elias, nicknamed by the locals as “Budha Sonara” meaning (indirectly) “the wise goldsmith”, inherited his skills from his father, Mr. Haji Elias, a merchant, who first stepped his foot to East Africa during the late 19th century from India. This was the time when dhows were used for transportation of goods by the merchants and transportation of labourers by the British to build the Kenya-Uganda Railway line, which itself has its own history. This has been documented by Cynthia Salvadori in her three part book series titled, ‘We came in Dhows’.

The first recognized/recorded setup of the establishment was in 1906 in Zanzibar. Through years, the establishment and the trade in general have seen their ups and downs throughout the East Coast of Africa. The founder then saw a better opportunity in Mombasa for which he next shifted to. The founder, then had his business’ change of locations more than twice within Mombasa due to economic growth and development of the East African Coastal town.
