Zamil Industrial’s lineage can be easily traced directly to the Zamil Group Holding Company, a much larger and well-established business family.
Zamil Group Holding Company is a Saudi-family-owned global company with diversified industrial operations and capabilities, commercial interests, and alliances with leading international organizations. The Group offers a wide range of solutions through its vast manufacturing facilities network and international presence in over 60 countries. Founded in the 1930s by the late Sheikh Abdullah Al Hamad Al Zamil (1897–1961) as a modest trading and real estate business, the Zamil brothers expanded and grew the business when they took over in the 1970s, transforming it into the world-class conglomerate it is today.
Zamil Group operations cover numerous sectors, from building products and components to paints, plastics, chemicals, and petrochemicals, from shipbuilding to ship repair, port management, and operations, from general construction to offshore marine support services.
Zamil Group employs over 21,000 people across its international operations in 60 countries. Its cultural and ethnic diversity provide strength and sustainability to support the business. As a good and responsible corporate citizen, the Group contributes and helps develop the communities where its business is conducted.
