What Depa Group does

Depa PLC, listed on Nasdaq Dubai (DEPA:DU, DEPACLA:DU), is a holding company for a global interior contracting and fit-out platform serving luxury hospitality, residential, retail, transportation infrastructure, marine, and aviation end markets. The group operates four wholly-owned key business units: Depa Interiors (full-scope interior contracting for hotels, apartments, airports, shops, theme parks, and offices), Deco Group (interior contracting and furniture manufacturing focused on the Middle East retail sector), Vedder (German-engineered luxury interiors for superyachts, private residences, hotels, and private aircraft, with 130+ years of German engineering heritage, 450+ specialist staff, and 50 years/80+ projects in superyachts), and Carrara (premium interior solutions). The company runs two regional hubs in Europe and the Middle East and delivers integrated design, manufacturing (joinery, FF&E, stone), procurement, and installation as a turnkey package.

The business model is project-based, quote-driven, and milestone-billed, with multi-year contract cycles typical of premium fit-out work. Depa monetizes through one-time project engagements for interior contracting and professional services revenue for FF&E manufacturing, stone supply and installation, and specialized marine/aviation interiors. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales to luxury hotel operators, tier-one real estate developers, and property owners, with no channel intermediaries; relationship-based selling and an iconic project portfolio (Burj Khalifa, Marina Bay Sands, Emirates Palace, Burj Al Arab, Waldorf Astoria, Atlantis The Palm) anchor specification wins. Pricing is fully custom per project and is not publicly disclosed at the line-item level.

Depa is registered in DIFC (Dubai) and relocated its operational headquarters to Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2025, with major shareholder backing from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. FY2025 revenue reached AED 1,575.6 million (up 18% year-on-year) with net profit of AED 154.8 million (up 76%) and a backlog of AED 2,399.6 million, supported by a AED 658.2 million rights issue completed in late 2025 to fund working capital, a new Riyadh joinery factory, and potential inorganic acquisitions.
