What Abdul Rahman Saad Al Rashid and Sons Company does

Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons Co. (ARTAR) is a privately held Saudi Arabian diversified investment holding company founded in 1992, headquartered in Riyadh. The group operates nine principal subsidiaries across construction, real estate development, healthcare, food production, mining exploration, and electro-mechanical / ICT services. Core construction operating companies include Al-Rashid Trading and Contracting Company (RTCC, founded 1957, Class A contractor), Saudi Services for Electro-Mechanical Works Co. (SSEM, founded 1976, Grade 1 for electrical and mechanical works), and Al-Rashid Abetong Co. (founded 1977, one of the largest precast concrete producers in Saudi Arabia). Real estate operations are conducted through Saudi Bonyan Co. (retail, residential, and mixed-use developments in Saudi Arabia) and ARTAR Real Estate Development in Dubai. Non-construction verticals include Specialized Medical Center Hospital (SMCH, a Riyadh hospital operating since 1999), Golden Chicken (poultry production since 1981), Saudi Premium Food Co.

ARTAR generates revenue across multiple, distinct streams: (i) project-based construction and contracting revenue via RTCC, SSEM, and ATP on turnkey execution of large government and private-sector projects; (ii) real estate development and property management income via Saudi Bonyan and the Dubai subsidiary across retail, residential, and mixed-use assets; (iii) healthcare service fees from SMCH; (iv) consumer-product revenue from Golden Chicken (fresh and frozen poultry, eggs, day-old chicks) and Saudi Premium Food Co.; and (v) early-stage mining exploration returns from the G&M Joint Venture. The go-to-market model is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging direct engagement with government ministries, directorates, and private-sector clients in Saudi Arabia, with a regional extension into the UAE through the Dubai real estate subsidiary. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates primarily through B2B contracts, government tenders, and project-based engagements. The company is family-controlled by the Al-Rashid family, with Sheikh Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid as Founder and Chairman. Headcount is reported in the 5,001-10,000 range, and the group has published an ISO/IEC 27001-aligned Information Security Management System (ISMS) Corporate Policy overseen by a Chief Information Officer.
