What Alesayi Holding does

Alesayi Holding, legally Omar Kassem Alesayi Group (مجموعة عمر قاسم العيسائي / OKAG), is a privately held, family-owned Saudi Arabian conglomerate headquartered in Jeddah and founded in 1945 by Sheikh Omar Kassem Alesayi. The group operates across seven business sectors — engineering and technology, real estate and asset management, trade and retail, electronics, marketing and production, services, and investment partnerships — through approximately 30 wholly-owned subsidiaries and portfolio companies. Its direct employment is stated at 1,000+ corporate staff (with firmographics reporting 5,001–10,000), while the 85%-owned Initial Saudi Group platform deploys 25,000+ associates across facilities management and Workforce Saudia HR services for 1,400+ clients.

The group's revenue model is multi-stream: (1) Electronics distribution through four company-owned showrooms and major Saudi retailers (Extra, Jarir, Lulu Hypermarket), anchored by exclusive distribution of TCL (the world's #2 LCD TV brand) and Hoover (500,000+ units sold since 2014); (2) Real estate development via AQARAT and adjacent subsidiaries, including a 35-story mixed-use tower in Jabal Omar, Makkah designed by Gensler and the Abraj Omar MGallery Collection hotel with Accor (opening 2028); (3) Hospitality operations under Accor brands (Adagio, ibis, ibis Styles, MGallery); (4) Facilities management and manpower outsourcing through Initial Saudi Group and Workforce Saudia; (5) Long-standing portfolio companies across manufacturing (BRC Industrial, United Cartons, Al-Tawfiq Plastic, Mitsubishi MELSA elevators), food (National Food Industries, NBCC confectionery), automotive (Alesayi Motors, United Motors), and petrochemicals (EPP Egypt); and (6) Cross-border real estate development through a 2022 joint venture with Mountain View Egypt.

Alesayi's go-to-market combines channel-partner distribution (for consumer electronics), enterprise field sales (for real estate and hospitality master-development agreements), and direct B2B contracts (for facilities management). The group explicitly aligns its diversification strategy with Saudi Vision 2030, positioning its Makkah hospitality, housing, and services portfolio to capture Hajj/Umrah demand, Saudization-driven outsourcing growth, and giga-project-adjacent infrastructure.
