Abdul Latif Jameel

Saudi Arabia
Abdul Latif Jameel is a diversified group with deep roots across the Middle East, North Africa, and Türkiye (MENAT region). Strong networks and long-standing partnerships make us a powerful gateway for businesses seeking opportunities in the region.
From humble beginnings in Jeddah 80 years ago as a small trading business and later as Toyota’s distributor, we have built Saudi Arabia’s largest vehicle distribution network and developed extensive expertise in the automotive industry. Leveraging this foundation, we diversified into new sectors contributing to the “infrastructure of life” in the MENAT region.
Our Foundation
Founded in 1945 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, our journey started in a harsh desert environment and grew alongside the nation’s transformation. Today, we operate in 34 countries worldwide, driven by the vision of our founder, Abdul Latif Jameel, who believed that better mobility could empower people and foster economic growth.
