What Electrical Industries Co. does

Electrical Industries Co. (EIC) is a publicly listed Saudi Arabian holding company (Tadawul:1303) that consolidates four manufacturing subsidiaries producing electrical distribution and power equipment — power transformers, distribution transformers, package substations, switchgear, switchboards, motor control centers, cable bus, and related low-voltage panels. Founded in 2005 as the parent of WESCOSA (established 1976 as a Westinghouse/Al-Quraishi joint venture) and Saudi Transformers Company (STC, established 1978), the group expanded with Saudi Power Transformers Company (SPTC, 2010) and Pauwels Transformers NV in Belgium (acquired April 2021). EIC employs over 1,600 people across more than 200,000 square meters of manufacturing space in the First and Second Industrial Cities of Dammam, with an additional plant in Mechelen, Belgium, and services branches in Riyadh and Jeddah. Product capabilities span up to 100 MVA medium-power transformers in the 145 kV class (with on-load tap changers since 1998), IEC- and ANSI-compliant designs verified by international laboratories, and specialized configurations for Middle East harsh-environment duty.

EIC operates a B2B enterprise sales model targeting national utilities, oil & gas majors, petrochemical operators, mining companies, and international EPC contractors. Its customer roster includes the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Saudi Aramco, SABIC, MA'ADEN, the Royal Commission, DEWA, KAHRAMAA, National Grid, Bechtel, Samsung Engineering, Technip, and SINOPEC. The revenue mix combines direct hardware sales of custom-engineered equipment (priced per project, not publicly disclosed) with a services stream covering repairs, testing, installation, commissioning, refurbishments, advisory, and consultancy. Manufacturing technology traces to Pauwels Belgium design platforms originally licensed into STC in 1982 and later folded into EIC via the 2021 Belgium asset acquisition, providing in-house know-how for power, distribution, and specialized transformer designs.

The group has SAR 562.5 million of capital distributed across 1.12 billion shares, with major shareholder Ajda Industrial Services Co. holding 18.75% following an internal restructuring in July 2026. The Al-Quraishi family retains board influence through Chairman Yousef Ali Al-Quraishi. Recent operating performance includes stated revenue growth from SAR 205 million (2021) to SAR 612 million (2025), Q2 2026 net profit of SAR 211.5 million (+55% YoY), and an H1 2026 cash dividend of SAR 140.625 million, alongside an Overweight rating from ANB Capital in July 2026.
