What Al Saif Group does

Al Saif Group is a privately held, family-owned Saudi Arabian transportation and logistics conglomerate headquartered in Dammam, founded in 1960 by Sulaiman Hamad AlSaif. The group operates four wholly owned subsidiaries: Al Saif Transport, which runs a fleet of more than 1,200 trucks and 1,500 trailers moving goods across Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and Jordan; Al Saif Logistics, providing air and ocean freight plus international logistics solutions with worldwide coverage; Al Saif Express, an express delivery and courier service operating for over 45 years within the Kingdom; and Al Saif Real Estate, which owns and operates approximately 284 warehouses across Saudi Arabia offering sheltered and non-sheltered storage.

The company serves major enterprise clients across petrochemicals (SABIC, Nadic), oil and gas (Aramco), beverages (Coca Cola, Pepsi), steel (Qatar Steel, Al Rajhi Steel, Solb Steel, Al Ettifaq Steel), food (Sadia, BRF, Americana, Abo Dawood), industrial gases (Linde), retail/pharmacy (Al Dawaa), and industrial/energy (GE, Shell). Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based fees on transport and freight services and through recurring rental income from the warehousing portfolio.

Distribution is executed via direct enterprise field sales through branch offices in Dammam (headquarters), Jeddah, Riyadh, Yanbu, Abha, and a new Dubai office under establishment, with technology assets comprising modern transport equipment and high-technology operational systems managed by qualified staff and technicians. The company is currently expanding geographically into the UAE and operating as a unified four-division service portfolio under second-generation family leadership.
