For eight decades, Saudi Arabia has been at the center of Abdul Latif Jameel operations, our largest market, and where we have deep local knowledge and roots. Today, Abdul Latif Jameel is a global enterprise and operates diversified businesses in over 30 countries worldwide. Our growth has been built on the wisdom and tenacity of our entrepreneurial founder, the late Abdul Latif Jameel, who saw that better personal transportation could empower businesses and individuals, advancing the economic development of his nation.

Our automotive story began modestly in 1955, when, having been appointed as a Toyota distributor in Saudi Arabia, Mr. Jameel ordered four Toyota vehicles. Sixty years later, our relationship with Toyota Motor Corporation has helped us transform from a modest Saudi-based company to a global automotive leader, delivering end-to-end service to commercial clients and retail customers in 8 countries.

Mr. Jameel was a visionary entrepreneur and dynamic pathfinder dedicated to the needs of his fellow citizens. In the same spirit, we seek opportunities to add value and encourage community development.

In recent years, our pioneering development efforts have taken us from that first vehicle order to being one of the World’s leading independently-owned Toyota distributors, with immense regional, financial, and business development expertise. Today's success is built on proven excellence across the full automotive value chain.

From this strong base, we have grown thoughtfully – engaging new strategic partnerships and building businesses where we saw tangible economic and social development possibilities. This has helped us develop an infrastructure to create value and trade from many angles across several industry sectors.
