Alshehili Company

What Alshehili Company does

Alshehili Company For Metal Industries is a Riyadh-headquartered, privately-held industrial manufacturer founded in 1980 that designs, fabricates, repairs, and maintains land freight vehicles and a growing line of defense products for customers in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East. The company runs a vertically integrated production stack covering welding (SMAW, MIG, GMAW, TIG across steel, stainless steel, and aluminum), metalworking (hydraulic press, press brake, shearing, NC oxyfuel cutting, spot clinching), machining (drilling, milling, lathe, shaping), composite materials processing (polyurethane press panels, foam injection, CNC wood milling, laminated glass), and surface treatment through a 9x9x6 meter painting chamber with a galvanizing line. Its commercial catalog contains more than 900 product codes spanning dry cargo trailers, curtain side trailers, tanker trailers, low bed trailers, flat bed trailers, high side trailers, refrigerated trucks and trailers, construction vehicles, material handling vehicles, caravans and mobile clinics, car recovery trucks, and portable cold stores, alongside a defense line that includes B6-armored vehicles, armored shield turret pickups, armored cash carriers, military troop carriers, and multi-layer polycarbonate armored glass.

The business operates four revenue streams: (1) custom vehicle manufacturing priced in Saudi Riyals under project-based quotations valid for 30 days; (2) supplementary product resale including ACR cooling units (Thermo King, Carrier, Hwasung), tractor heads (MAN), tail lifts (Dautel, Dhollandia), and chassis frames (HINO, ISUZU); (3) defense hardware sales; and (4) recurring MRO services covering axle, floor, and roof damage repair plus van insulation. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated sales specialists handling B2B inquiries through a 'Get a Quote' portal, and the company is qualified into high-bar enterprise accounts such as Almarai, Nahdi, NADEC, Alaska Ice, and Alsadhna.

The company is differentiated by a deep certification stack — ISO 9001, AS 9100, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, SASO registration, and Saudi Made program membership, audited by SGS under UKAS — and employs licensed Professional Engineers from Saudi Arabia, the USA, and Canada. With 251–500 employees, an established Investor Relations and IPO page on its website, and no disclosed ownership, funding, or revenue figures, Alshehili positions itself as a candidate for public-market capital access while continuing to localize strategic freight and defense vehicle manufacturing inside the Kingdom.
