With solid roots traced back to Gouraud Street, then part of the vibrant Souk el Najjarine, Ets. Georges Matta was founded in the 1950's as part of the thriving Beirut Central District. An expansion with the Jamhour and then the Jal el Dib showrooms, in the following decade, paid tribute to an expertise garnered in metal furniture that primarily included beds, chairs, tables and then following on, outdoor metal worked furniture.

The company became incorporated as the Societe Georges Matta pour L'Industrie et le Commerce SAL in 1981. The new era that dawned witnessed the Dekwaneh location develop, in 2000, from a factory to a partial showroom and then into the prime showroom. The Ajaltoun and the Tripoli showrooms were launched in 1999 and 2000 respectively.

Keeping abreast of the latest trends, decorative and gift items were introduced as a new line of products in 2001.

In 2005 another major showroom was launched, Khaldeh.
