OFC’s investment philosophy

As a long-term, strategic investor, Olayan Financing Company understands that partnership is more than balance sheets, brands, and assets. They seek tomorrow’s possibilities rather than today’s returns. OFC never loses sight of what a business could be with the right environment, the right plan, and the right partner.

Ever forward

“Suliman Olayan believed that one of our greatest assets is our people, and he drew no distinction between a male or female in that regard, believing that we must enable each person to reach his or her full potential. A true pioneer, he embraced gender equality and equal opportunity before the terms were even coined.

Today, embracing a strong institutional belief that diversity enriches organizations, we continue to uphold those values by promoting the recruitment of women and focusing on career development across the board – in our own companies, our subsidiary companies and our affiliates.”

Lubna S. Olayan

Chair of the Executive Committee of OFC

A commitment to sustainable growth

“Since our entrepreneurial beginnings in 1947,we’ve managed assets in the Middle East, ever mindful of what the right business plan with the right partner can accomplish.”
