Our Story
RAASCO's roots trace back to 1989, when we began as San Diego Keysmiths. From these humble beginnings, we have evolved into a trailblazer in the ship chandling industry, bringing decades of trading experience and deep industry knowledge to every aspect of our operations.
Our journey has been marked by steady growth and strategic diversification. Initially, we established ourselves in Dubai by serving government entities, and soon after, we expanded into the rubber stamps and stationery sectors, swiftly becoming market leaders.
Recognizing the dynamic needs of our clients, we ventured into the building materials supply sector, where our reputation for reliability and excellence was further solidified. This strong foundation enabled us to seamlessly transition into the ship chandling space, providing essential materials to ship chandlers across the region.
Today, RAASCO stands as a premier ship chandler, leveraging our extensive experience and a robust network of trusted suppliers.
