Ebrahim Almana & Brothers Co.

What Ebrahim Almana & Brothers Co. does

Ebrahim Almana & Brothers Co. is the trading and distribution arm of the Almana Group, a Saudi Arabian healthcare conglomerate founded in 1949 when Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Almana opened the first hospital in the Kingdom. The company distributes medical equipment, surgical products, pharmaceuticals, dental and orthopedic supplies, hospital beds, and laboratory solutions across Saudi Arabia on behalf of more than 53 global manufacturers including Samsung, Philips, Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, Baxter, Roche, Dentsply Sirona, and Fujifilm. It also operates the Almana National Factory in Dammam (established 2005), the first factory of its kind in Saudi Arabia, which assembles Samsung ultrasound devices locally under a Vision 2030 localization mandate.

Beyond distribution and manufacturing, the broader Almana Group runs four multi-specialty hospitals and a state-of-the-art dental center across the Eastern Province (Khobar, Dammam, Jubail) with over 7,000 personnel, supported by sports medicine, IVF, oncology, and diagnostic imaging services including the first Digital Broadband MRI in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East (Philips Ingenia, 2012). A dedicated Public-Private Partnership (PPP) department executes contracts with the Saudi Ministries of Health, Defense, Interior, and Higher Education, and holds a NUPCO frame agreement for supplying diagnostic imaging equipment to government facilities.

The business operates on a quotation-based, multi-year enterprise and government sales model with direct field sales representatives providing installation, training, and after-sales follow-up. Revenue streams span hardware sales of medical and pharmaceutical products, hospital services revenue, after-sales professional services, and PPP/managed-services contracts. Digital infrastructure is being modernized via Oracle Fusion cloud applications, with embedded AI/ML through Dentsply Sirona CEREC in the dental line and partner-supplied AI in imaging equipment. The company remains family-owned (Chairman Ebrahim Bin Muhammad Al Mana), with a 20% minority stake held by Al Sanabil Investment Company since 2016.
