Our story
Three decades
in the making.
A small team, a lot of patience, and a habit of saying yes to work other people found too technical. That's still how CS Group operates today.
In the early 1990s, a small team with a background in art production and technical services set out on their own — more curiosity and craft than capital. In February 1994 that idea became a company, trading out of Deira, the wholesale heart of Dubai.
What followed was three decades of saying yes to work that needed both a steady hand and a technical one: signage that had to survive the sun, civil works that had to pass government inspection, print that had to be exact down to the shade. Piece by piece, that grew into a group — new companies formed as new disciplines were needed, each one licensed, staffed and built to the same standard as the last.
Today CS Group is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, with a footprint that reaches Dubai, London and India — still run by people who'd rather get the details right than get the credit.
"Post-capital values — a skilled team, the right products, an eco-conscious way of working — are what make a business worth trusting for the next thirty years, not just the next thirty days." — CS Group, founding philosophy
Milestones
How the group came together.
Each entity was formed to house a new discipline properly — its own licence, its own specialists, the same standard throughout.

A trading venture opens in Deira, Dubai — the starting point for what would become CS Group.
Advertising and an international arm
Colour Spot Advertising establishes in Dubai, while Positron Enterprises opens in India to support sourcing and technical work offshore.
Colour Spot arrives in the capital
Colour Spot Printing and Graphics establishes in Abu Dhabi, opening the relationships with government and transport clients the group still serves today.
Benchmark Contracting
A further India-based entity adds contracting capability to the group's international support network.
Jetpack Technical Supplies
A dedicated procurement and materials-sourcing entity launches, tightening the group's supply chain.
Jetpack General Maintenance & Contracting

What drives us
Eco-conscious, skilled, and built for the long term.

The group today
