The group is financially very strong with hardly any loan commitments for its normal operations. With net assets in excess of Hundreds of Millions of Dollars, the group employs over 1300 people and owns a network of over 130 points of sale.
The success of the group has largely been due to its ability to forge long
standing alliances, joint ventures, dealerships and license arrangements
with multinational organizations (such as AKSONOBLE AKZO NOBEL, PPG, I.C.R ITALLY, 3M, FARECLA, MIRKA, INP, TUK, STARCHEM, RUPES, DRESTER, HUTCHINS, TRISK, TKX, IWATA, GARMAT, GOFF, FILTERAIR, CAR-O-LINER).

Furthermore, AKA has invested in several European countries and relationships with Japanese, American , Canadian, French, German, British , Dutch and Chinese companies which lead to spread its influence further in the field.
AKA is poised for globalization and always willing to discuss new projects and ventures with potential partners. Business has increased steadily with the growth of KSA and other GCC countries throughout the 1960s. Commercial opportunities exploded under the guidance of insightful leaders, the KSA was transformed seemingly overnight, into a powerful economic center. We also see opportunities beyond our national borders.
One of our major objectives is to pursue opportunities both regionally and globally. We look forward to do so with new, as well as existing partners. We have come a long way since the days when pearl diving was one of the mainstays of our economy. Today, in the new millennium, the world is our oyster."
