What Khaled Juffali Industrial Company does

Khaled Juffali Industrial Company (KJC) is a privately held Saudi Arabian diversified industrial holding and strategic-investment company founded in 2004 by Khaled Juffali, operating from Jeddah with branches in Riyadh, Dammam, Makkah and Khobar. It sits alongside the broader Juffali family enterprise that traces to E.A. Juffali and Brothers Co., established in 1946. KJC manages a portfolio of wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, joint ventures and minority investments spanning industrial construction, renewable energy, elevator distribution, automotive, insurance and finance, healthcare and life sciences, real estate, agriculture and fine arts.

The operating core sits in three industrial subsidiaries. Khaled Juffali Industrial Company (KJIC) delivers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services to Saudi Oil and Gas, Petrochemical, Fertilizer and Power clients, with execution capacity of 5 million man-hours and the ability to mobilize up to 1,500 in-house workers across storage tanks, vessels, heat exchangers, pipe spooling, electro-mechanical construction, plant maintenance, turnarounds and retrofit work. Khaled Juffali Energy and Utilities (KJEU) develops, builds and operates solar and wind facilities across the MENA region under BOT, BOO and EPC structures, with full OandM servicing and a technology-agnostic equipment selection model anchored by partnerships such as Soitec. Khaled Juffali Elevator and Escalator Co. is the exclusive Saudi distributor for Kleemann S.A., providing trading, installation and maintenance across four cities.

The remainder of the portfolio is held through joint ventures and minority stakes that generate investment returns and dividends. Industrial JVs include Global Gypsum Company Ltd. (3G, founded 2005 with Lafarge Gypsum International and Zahid Group) producing 300,000 tons of gypsum powder and 300,000 m² of plaster ceiling tiles annually, and a Soitec solar-energy partnership that led to Saudi Aramco selecting Soitec's concentrated photovoltaic technology. Insurance and finance holdings include Saudi Enaya (health insurance), Lonsdale Associates (Lloyd's broker), GAP Corp (extended warranty) and AJIL (financial leasing). Healthcare and life sciences holdings include ReAya Holding (MENA's first permanent-capital healthcare vehicle), Saba Medical, Arabio (GCC's first biopharmaceutical company focused on vaccines and plasma) and Al Zahrawi Group (medical devices distribution). Additional holdings span Khaled Juffali Automotive Company, Azhar Residences (a 30-villa luxury compound in Khobar), Nabta Organic Farms (1.05 million sqm certified organic farm in Khulais), AMWAJ (sound-light-water entertainment) and partnerships with Hilti, Northeastern University, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Help Center for social-impact programs.
