Leadership

in national development work

Al-Nahla Company is one of the oldest leading Saudi business companies. The founder, late H.E Mr. Hasan Abbas Sharbatly played a pivotal role in the early social and economic development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Further, Mr. Hasan has made significant national contributions during his life to support education, culture, and the constant development of community service.
This positive role led His Majesty, the late King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to bestow upon Mr. Hasan Sharbatly the title of “His Excellency” in 1934, as well as the title of an “Honorary Minister of State” in recognition of his efforts and contributions to the country and the community. Such titles were the first of their kind in the history of KSA. Some of the most important companies and foundations founded by His Excellency since the beginning of his business life include:
Riyad Bank (Banking sector)
Arabian Automobiles Company (Transport sector)
Saudi Arabian Refineries Company (SARCO) (Food and Beverage Sector)
Sinalco International
Printing Press & Publishing Est.
