CEO Letter

I would like to welcome you all to the Arabian Railway Company (ARC) website and I hope you find our website informative and useful. I would like to take this opportunity to give you a brief introduction about ARC and our future vision to be the leading railway services company in Saudi Arabia.

ARC started its railway activities in 2007, whilst the railways in Saudi Arabia were still in their infancy, through the vison of our Chairman we set off on a journey to become one of Saudi Arabia’s leading private companies serving the railway and transportation market. During this journey we have supported numerous Blue Chip Transportation companies in obtaining business within Saudi Arabia and helping them in executing & delivering projects This experience has led ARC to becoming a multidisciplinary company with business streams in Business Support, Trading, Operations & Maintenance and Project Execution, with ability to support both local and international companies in the Railway and Transportation domain.

Our success within the Railway & Transportation arena has led us to creating long term Partnerships and Joint Ventures with some of the World’s leading companies these include: -

  • Progress Rail
  • Unipart Rail
  • Yapi Merkezi

ARC recognises that as part of the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s Vision 2030 programme, Saudi Arabi will undertake significant investments in Railway and Transportation Market. These include the expansion the railway, metro & transportation projects and the creation new cities & areas which will require modern environmentally friendly transportation systems for the movement of people, resources, and freight. Our long-term vision is to have a footprint on all these railway projects in Saudi Arabia and play a major role in the foundation and the operation & maintenance of those projects.

Finally, I would like to thank you personally for taking the time to visit ARC site, and I have no doubt that with my team’s collective work and enthusiasm we will continue to ensure that ARC is one of leading private companies serving the Railway & Transportation Market within Saudi Arabia and the GCC region.
