Abu Dhabi – Mubasher: Abu Dhabi National Oil Company for Distribution (ADNOC Distribution) on Thursday announced that it has opened its first service station in Saudi Arabia.
Located on the Riyadh-Dammam highway around 40 kilometres from the capital, the station started operating at the end of November 2018, state-run news agency WAM said.
The UAE’s state-run fuel distributor opened the second station in the city of Hofuf within Al Ahsa Governate days later after inaugurating the first station.
“There is strong volume coming through them and clearly Saudi customers are enjoying the ADNOC Distribution experience. These stations were planned to give us insights into the Saudi consumer in advance of further growth in the Kingdom,” Saeed Al Rashdi, Acting CEO of ADNOC Distribution, commented.
The company is looking forward to expanding in the kingdom over the coming years.
“The important bond between Saudi Arabia and the UAE is deeply rooted in our shared history and close allegiances between the countries. This relationship sets the foundations for both countries to join forces to work together across many industries to contribute to the development of both nations,” Sheikh Shakhbout bin Nahyan Al Nahyan, UAE ambassador to Saudi Arabia, said.
