The Khazeni family (Persian: خازنی), Khazeni-Rad and Khazenifar family were a prominent Iranian industrial and mercantile family, active in Iran from the Qajar dynasty.

Throughout the 20th century, the main activities of the family were the manufacture and distribution of steel and fabric products through its company, The Cheltenham Company, which included the import of Japanese Iron and commodities such as cotton.

History

[edit]

The Khazeni, Khazeni-Rad, and Khazenifar families have three separate lineages interlinked through bloodlines.

After being known as Khazeni-Allangei (Arrangei) and Abbasian, the families opted to drop the affixes and change the family name at the time of Reza Shah.

The first Tehran resident of the family, Agha Baba Khazeni, is buried at Imamzadeh Abdullah, Rey.

"Agha Khazeni", one of the founding members of the family, is buried at the gateway of Shāh Abdol Azīm Shrine in the city of Rey, south of Tehran.

Before Tehran, the family had a history in Yazd but moved to Tehran province in the 1780s. Recent data reveals the family's history in the central desert city of Yazd, but records are scant.

The Khazeni families of Tehran became well-known and prominent in Tehran by establishing the Japanese stainless steel import lines and helped found a private hospital called Arad General Hospital.

The Cheltenham Company began operating on 21 December 1954 with a board of two directors to become, five years later, one of Iran's largest import companies of Iron commodities. In 1967, the family group created the first industrial pressure gauge importing company in Iran.

In 1977, the company also began investing in Texas but pulled their investments after during 1978 political turmoil in Iran. The company was bought out by a local competitor on March 2, 1981, after the Iranian revolution.

The Abbasian side of the family was known throughout Karaj and Tehran. They were well known for being the first doctors in the Asara area and being one of the more prominent families in Karaj before the revolution.
