Al Rajhi Industrial Group

What Al Rajhi Industrial Group does

Al Rajhi Industrial Group (مجموعة الراجحي الصناعية) is a privately held Saudi industrial conglomerate headquartered in Riyadh, operating as a subsidiary of Al Rajhi Business (راجحي أعمال) under family ownership originating with the late Sheikh Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Rajhi. The group runs four wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiaries: Al Rajhi Plastic Factory (agricultural products, pipes, nylon, films, injection products, plastic compounds; founded 1977), Gulf Paper Industries Factory (paper and packaging products; founded 1977), Al Rajhi Foam/Sponge Factory (foam for furniture, medical, and engineering applications; founded 1977), and the National Polyester Fibers Factory (solid and dual-component polyester fibers produced from recycled raw materials using advanced German technology introduced in 1997; factory established 1992). The National Polyester unit holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, as does the Foam Factory, while Gulf Paper Industries holds Saudi Industries association membership, and the group itself received the Best Workplace award in Saudi Arabia for the third consecutive year in 2024–2025.

The group's products serve horizontal industrial end-markets including furniture manufacturing, agriculture (pipes and films), medical industries, construction, and engineering applications. Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales of manufactured goods to enterprise customers, with pricing negotiated per contract and no public pricing disclosure. Distribution is conducted via direct industrial sales channels, with the primary market being Saudi Arabia. The group employs between 501 and 1,000 people and is positioned as a contributor to Saudi Vision 2030 industrial localization objectives through its commitment to local manufacturing and use of recycled inputs.

Strategically, the group's most notable moves in the past three decades have been the 1997 German-technology expansion at the National Polyester Fibers Factory and a 2025 cluster of compliance actions — ISO 9001:2015 certifications at the Polyester and Foam factories and Saudi Industries membership for Gulf Paper Industries — aimed at strengthening quality and local-content positioning. The group has not disclosed external funding, acquisitions, international expansion, or major capacity additions beyond the 1997 expansion in the available material.

Broad incumbents

• Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Company: SABIC affiliate producing petrochemicals, polymers, and specialty plastics. As a large-scale Saudi petrochemicals incumbent, it competes with Al Rajhi for industrial customers and represents the upper end of the Saudi plastics value chain.
• Advanced Petrochemical Company: Saudi producer of polypropylene and propylene, supplying feedstock and finished polymers into Saudi plastics converters. Comparable to Al Rajhi as a Saudi industrial petrochemicals player serving overlapping downstream plastics customers.
• SABIC (Saudi Basic Industries Corporation): Saudi Arabia's largest petrochemicals and plastics producer, operating at vastly greater scale across plastics, chemicals, and polymers. SABIC is a broad incumbent in the same Saudi industrial space where Al Rajhi's plastic and polyester operations compete and supply into overlapping downstream customers.
• Saudi International Petrochemical Company (Sipchem): Saudi petrochemicals producer manufacturing polymers and chemical intermediates that feed into plastics and polyester applications. Sipchem operates upstream of Al Rajhi's polyester fiber and plastic compound production, making it a comparable Saudi industrial petrochemicals peer.

Regional players

• Gulf Packaging Industries: Saudi packaging manufacturer producing paper-based and corrugated packaging products. Overlaps with Al Rajhi's Gulf Paper Industries Factory in the Saudi paper and packaging segment, competing for similar industrial and commercial packaging customers.
• Alujain Corporation: Saudi industrial company with petrochemicals, minerals, and downstream manufacturing operations. A peer Saudi industrial conglomerate serving similar B2B markets with overlapping plastics and industrial materials exposure.
• National Industries Group (Kuwait): Kuwaiti diversified industrial holding company with subsidiaries across petrochemicals, plastics, and building materials. Comparable to Al Rajhi as a GCC diversified industrial group with multiple manufacturing subsidiaries and family/conglomerate ownership structures.
• Industries Qatar (QAPCO/QAFCO): Qatari diversified industrial conglomerate with petrochemicals, fertilizers, and steel operations. Comparable as a GCC diversified industrial group with a similar multi-subsidiary structure and B2B industrial customer base to Al Rajhi.

Direct peers

• Saudi Paper Manufacturing Group: Saudi-based paper and packaging manufacturer producing tissue, hygiene, and packaging paper products. Directly comparable to Al Rajhi's Gulf Paper Industries Factory in serving the Saudi industrial and consumer packaging market.
• National Industrialization Company (Tasnee): Saudi petrochemicals and diversified industrial company producing polymers, plastics, and downstream products. Tasnee directly competes with Al Rajhi in Saudi plastics manufacturing and shares a similar B2B industrial customer base across construction and packaging.
