About the company
Al-Nahla Company is one of the most prestigious leading Saudi companies. Its founder, His Excellency Professor Hassan Abbas Sharbatly, may God have mercy on him, played a pivotal role in the early stages of social and economic development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. He also made significant national contributions throughout his life in supporting education and culture, and continuously developing services for the community.
This positive role prompted His Majesty King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, the founder of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to grant him the title of "His Excellency" in 1934, and the honorary title of "Minister of State" in recognition of his efforts and substantial contributions to the nation and society. These were the first titles of their kind in the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Among the most important companies and institutions he founded from the beginning of his business career:
- Riyad Bank
- Arab Automobile Company
- Saudi Arabian Refining Company (SARCO)
- Sinalco Global Company
