Beginnings

The National Development Company (NADEC) was established according to a Royal Decree issued in 1401-H (1981 A.D.). Since, it has been striving to present the finest and healthiest nutritional products.
NADEC is a joint stock public company with equity capital of SR 400 million promoted by the Saudi Government, which holds 20% equity while the Saudi public holds the balance equity.
This makes NADEC one of the very few widely held Saudi companies and we are proud to serve the public both as owners and customers.
NADEC is managed by a Board of director who has delegated authority to a team of professionals to manage the day-to-day affairs:

The aim of the founders was to exploit their resources and to turn their golden sand to green pastures producing nutrition and health to the country, its citizens and its Kingdom.


Growth

After two decades of joint efforts seasoned with weariness, giving, love of the land and faith in God, NADEC was honored with the prizes of His Highness the King, God bless his soul, and the International Prize of Quality.
Through determination, persistence, awareness, knowledge, and patience, NADEC has managed to stretch over expanses of lands and planes and is among the pioneering companies in its field.
Furthermore, NADEC played and is still playing an efficient role in supporting agricultural development in the Kingdom. For example, it contributes an approximate of 1200 tons of dried dates per year and 30 million liters of milk. It also owns 4 cow farms that contain 24,000 cattle head.


New directions

NADEC is willing to change with time in order to satisfy growing consumers demands while maintaining the same standards of quality. An indication of this change is NADEC's new image, which is reflected through our new and improved logo, attractive packages and the expansion of our product line.


Future

NADEC aims through its economic development project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to reduce import, increase dependability on national economy and encourage the contribution of the agricultural sector in the national product. NADEC is also diligent to offer high quality nutrition and services that go hand in hand with the needs of the consumer. To that end, it applies itself to achieve the aspirations of the shareholders via the best investment of the human, financial and natural resources of the company in agreement with the values and traditions of the society.
