Aldrees Petroleum and Transport Services Company
Aldrees runs fuel stations and a trucking fleet, selling petrol, diesel, and lubricants to drivers while hauling cargo for companies and the government across Saudi Arabia.
Aldrees is the company you meet at the petrol pump and on the highway. It runs one of Saudi Arabia's largest chains of fuel stations, selling petrol, diesel, and lubricants to everyday drivers and truckers. That retail side is the face most people know. But it also has a second, quieter business: a big fleet of trucks that carries cargo for companies, government agencies, and other large customers.
The two halves fit together like a hand and a glove. The stations bring in steady cash from fuel sales, and the transport side moves goods across the kingdom, everything from cement to containers. Aldrees didn't always look like this. It started as a family trading business, grew into fuel and transport, and listed on the Saudi exchange in 2006. That listing gave it capital to expand, and the company has kept growing its station network and fleet since. Saudi Arabia's economy runs on both of these things. Cars need fuel, and goods need moving, especially with the kingdom pouring money into giant construction and tourism projects. Aldrees sells fuel at scale, which means its profits are thin on each liter but add up across hundreds of stations and millions of fill-ups. Its transport arm has the same logic: the margins per load are modest, but reliability and a large fleet keep the contracts coming. Big industrial firms and government bodies choose it because it can handle nationwide routes and tough logistics.
The company's growth depends on how many stations it opens and how busy the roads get. Fuel prices in Saudi Arabia are set by the government, so Aldrees can't simply raise prices when costs rise. It makes money through volume and cost control. That makes the business steady in good times but exposed if the government trims fuel subsidies or changes pricing rules, since those decisions affect the whole industry at once.
