UAE’s Core Enterprises<br />

Abdullah Mohammed<br />

Juma Al Naboodah<br />

Chairman, Saeed & Mohammed<br />

Al Naboodah Group<br />

Sector: Diverse | Establishment: 1958<br />

In 1958, brothers Saeed and Mohammed Al Naboodah<br />

laid the foundation for what would become one of the<br />

most esteemed family companies in the UAE - the Saeed<br />

& Mohammed Al Naboodah Group. With a workforce of<br />

over 10,000 individuals representing nearly 50 nationalities,<br />

the group has evolved into a powerhouse with a diverse<br />

portfolio spanning civil engineering, building, MEP, and a<br />

multitude of sectors including automotive, transportation,<br />

travel, electrical, logistics, agriculture, smart cities, real<br />

estate, and renewable energy.<br />

At the heart of the enterprise is the parent company,<br />

Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah Holding LLC, overseeing<br />

the management of two main divisions: Al Naboodah<br />

Construction Group (ANCG) and Al Naboodah Commercial<br />

Group (ACG). Renowned for delivering world-class<br />

projects and services that surpass client expectations, Al<br />

Naboodah has become a trusted brand synonymous with<br />

quality and sustainability.<br />

In 2010, the group diversified into multiple sectors,<br />

presenting an impressive portfolio of global brands, and<br />

solidifying its position as one of the leading conglomerates<br />

in the UAE. In 2014, Al Naboodah Group Enterprises<br />

(ANGE) was established to streamline management processes,<br />

consolidating the group’s activities. Al Naboodah’s<br />

commitment to corporate governance and sustainability<br />

was formalised, leading to the issuance of its first Sustainability<br />

Report in 2016, adhering to GRI standards.<br />

In 2018, as the UAE celebrated the Year of Zayed, Al<br />

Naboodah marked ‘60 Years of Excellence’ since its inception.<br />

The group continued to build on its sustainability<br />

vision, issuing its second GRI-compliant Sustainability<br />

Report and securing the Happiest Working Environment<br />

award for the second consecutive year.<br />

Aligned with the UAE Vision 2021 and National Innovation<br />

Strategy, 2019 saw the launch of Al Naboodah’s Smart<br />

Cities business, focusing on Smart Buildings and Smart<br />

Mobility. Adding to its public transportation portfolio,<br />

the group introduced the RTA Optare Solo, a UK-manufactured<br />

low-floor city bus developed in partnership with<br />

the Roads & Transport Authority.<br />

With an extensive range of offerings, including agriculture,<br />

automotive, construction, electrical, logistics,<br />

real estate, and more, Al Naboodah Group Enterprises,<br />

under the visionary leadership of its Chairman, continues<br />

to thrive as a beacon of excellence, sustainability, and<br />

innovation, with an annual revenue of $2.71 billion and<br />

a commitment to shaping a brighter future for the UAE<br />

and beyond.<br />
