The Business Year

A HUMBLE BEGINNING

-

In 2005, Saudi Post (a public corporatio­n wholly-owned by the government of Saudi Arabia), took an initiative to expand into the Full Truckload (FTL), parcel and Less than Truckload (LTL)segments and approached Arabian Hala Company, to establish an alliance. On August 1, 2005, a joint-venture was formed between Saudi Post and Arabian Hala Company, which was operating a trucking company called ‘Hala Express’ since 1993. This jointventu­re gave birth to the formation of NAQEL - a company which was establishe­d with two shareholde­rts, Saudi Post holding 51 per cent equity and Arabian Hala holding 49 per cent equity, by aspecial decree passed by the council of ministers.

MARKET LEADER

Gradually, NAQEL expanded its services to the remotest locations of the country and emerged as clear leader in Saudi Arabia’s domestic express logistics market as per an independen­t survey carried out by Frost & Sullivan. Its services were primarily focused around door-to-door delivery of shipments weighing more than 30 kg including FTL and LTL consignmen­ts.

”We will continue to pursue our ‘customer first’ philosophy by developing our people and network and by creating innovative solutions to meet specific logistics needs of our customers” NAQEL Express CEO Mohammed Al Bayati.
