ABOUT US

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Whether you are an investor in our company, a consumer of our products, a member of our team, or an interested reader, I am pleased to welcome you to the Savola Group website. We are confident that this website is rich in information regarding our diverse business operations in the Middle East and North Africa region. Our website pages will reveal details about our investments in the food and retail sectors, as well as clarify our vision for the future and the wisdom behind choosing the slogan "Value Built on Values" as our goal.

Savola was established in 1979, and over the past four decades, we have witnessed growth and expansion in all our activities and investments. Savola Food Company produces various food products, including cooking oils, sugar, pasta, and ghee. Currently, the company markets its products in more than 50 different countries.

Additionally, our retail sector manages a significant number of retail stores under the Panda brand. Our experts are also committed to investing in other companies to achieve additional returns for our shareholders.

As the leading company in Saudi Arabia’s food and retail industry, Savola Group is committed to driving progress and shaping sustainability within these vital sectors. We are dedicated to fostering workplace equality and promoting diversity and inclusion, particularly for individuals with disabilities. We believe that employing them not only enhances our workforce but also contributes to the broader business sector. Our initiatives focus on providing accessible facilities, implementing supportive policies and procedures, and offering job opportunities with essential training and development to empower our team.

From humble beginnings, we have grown into a multinational company with a presence in over 50 countries. We own a diverse and profitable portfolio including market-leading brands and Saudi Arabia’s leading supermarket chain."

Value Built on Values

"We believe that the value we add should be built on values – the ethical principles on which Savola was founded. From the outset, we have promoted ethical values and behavior. We embrace these principles as a group, within our companies and even as individuals."
