Elia Nuqul (1928 – June 2022) was a Palestinian businessperson based in Amman.
He founded the Nuqul Group, a business conglomerate with 31 companies, including Fine Hygienic Holding.
[1] He had begun his studies at the American University of Beirut when his family were expelled from their home during the Nakba in 1948.
In 1958, Nuqul founded Fine, a tissue and paper product manufacturer, and is considered the first Arab to bring such industry into that region.
The idea for the Foundation was from Nuqul's time in Ramla when he was unable to complete his education due to financial conditions and his refugee status.
