Saudi Company For Hardware SACO

What Saudi Company For Hardware SACO does

Saudi Company for Hardware (SACO) is a publicly listed Saudi joint-stock company (Tadawul: 4008; Commercial Registration 1010056595) operating a multi-category retail platform that combines 32 physical showrooms across Saudi Arabia — including 24-hour flagship 'SACO World' locations in Riyadh, Dammam, and Khulays — with the saco.sa e-commerce storefront, iOS/Android mobile apps, and a dedicated international delivery channel (SACO Global, 8–10 day shipping). The company's merchandising spans more than 20 top-level categories, including tools and hardware, home appliances, kitchen equipment, indoor and outdoor furniture, garden and outdoor living, car care, home improvement, sports and fitness, supermarket, toys, office supplies, and fragrances, drawing on a brand portfolio that features Samsung, Philips, Panasonic, Bosch, DeWalt, Black & Decker, Karcher, Weber, Intex, Bissell, and Hamilton Beach alongside SACO-exclusive lines such as the Hamilton Beach sole-distribution kitchen range and the Micasa house-brand furniture assortment.

The technology stack is built on SAP Commerce Cloud with localized Arabic/English storefronts, integrated home-delivery and store-pickup order management across all 32 branches, a digital wallet, gift cards, and BNPL integrations with Tabby and Tamara alongside Mada, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, STC Pay, and Baseeta. A tiered loyalty program (SACO Club) with Bronze/Silver/Gold membership (1–4% cashback and 1–4 points per SAR, with a 150-point welcome bonus) drives repeat engagement, while the 2026 launch of Yalla 2-hour express delivery and SACO Global international shipping extends the fulfillment surface beyond the domestic market. The company employs 1,001–5,000 staff, pays an annual dividend of SAR 0.25 per share, and funds procurement and working capital through a SAR 150 million Shariah-compliant credit facility from Saudi National Bank signed February 1, 2026.
