The Al-Fozan Group of Companies was founded on three simple principles: operational excell-ence, quality products, and superior customer service.

More than four decades later, the company zealously upholds these principles. They are not only the cornerstones of its success, but are also pathfinders into the future, according to chairman Abdullatif Al-Fozan.
“Since our inception in 1960, we have been witness to a radically changing business environment; domestically and globally,” he explained. “We have adapted to the changes and successfully evolved and diversified. Today, our corpo-rate standing is a testament to this ability. Throughout the years, we have allowed our business philosophy to mature, yet remain flexible. This approach has eased the integration and management of our diversification and evolution.”
The group started out as a single company, Al-Fozan Building Materials, committed to rectifying the supply and demand imbalance. Visionary manage-ment and total dedication to quality and customer satisfaction saw the company grow exponentially in size, reputation and product lines.
In 1983, Al-Fozan Electrical Materials was formed. After a brief period of consolidating its market position, the parent company took its diversification a step further, and, in 1991 Al-Fozan Wood Industries came into being. This was followed up by Al-Fozan Architectural Hardware in 1993 and ARC Engineering Consultants in 1994. Keeping pace with market developments, 1996 saw Al-Fozan Steel Industries and Building & Construction Company start operations. In 1999, the Group established Arnon Plastic Industries and in 2001 United Transformers Electric Company (Utec) followed by United Electronics (eXtra) and Projects & Supplies in 2002.
As the flagship company, Al-Fozan Building Materials (FBM) is among the largest importers of building materials in Saudi Arabia. The company’s core business involves wood, steel and insulation material.
Established in 1969, its main focus was to meet the ever-increasing demand for building materials in Saudi Arabia. Since inception, the company’s founders insisted on quality and as a result the company soon acquired a solid reputation for its products.
The ability to adapt to changing customer needs and market demands enabled FBM to maintain its leading position. In 1995, the company undertook an ambitious self-develop-ment programme that reinforced its corporate standing.
Today, the company is a dynamic force in regional markets. ISO-certified and guided by a strong corporate philosophy, FBM continues to enjoy one success after another. It enjoys a distinguished reputation with clients, suppliers, financial institutions and other business associates.
