The Abdul Latif Jameel business began in 1945, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in a country of harsh, dry desert. Today, Saudi Arabia is a thriving nation with a predominantly young population of more than 34 million, connected demographics, abundant natural resources, a booming consumer market, and ideal fiscal conditions.
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 investor 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 business, delivering end-to-end service to commercial clients and retail customers in 8 countries.
Abdul Latif Jameel is a diversified business comprised of independent entities that include automotive distribution, auto parts manufacturing, financial services, renewable energy, environmental services, land and real estate development, logistics, electronics retailing, and media services. Abdul Latif Jameel has an active investments arm and positions itself as a preferred business partner primarily for inward investment into the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey (MENAT) region.
In 2016, following nearly 70 years of commercial success both at home and abroad, Abdul Latif Jameel increased its focus on its Saudi Arabian operations, forming what is today known as ‘Abdul Latif Jameel Enterprises’ – a dedicated and well-resourced venture to identify opportunities and drive investment in the Kingdom – accelerating diversification and business growth, while contributing to the economic development of the country.
