About Us

Our Story

Three Decades of Industrial Excellence

It begins with Balubaid Group, a diversified Saudi conglomerate with roots stretching back to 1952. It is within this legacy of excellence that APICO was established in 1996, founded with a singular, ambitious vision: to elevate the standard of plastic manufacturing in Saudi Arabia and position the Kingdom as a regional hub for industrial polymer solutions.

Over the past 29 years, APICO has evolved from a focused local manufacturer into a regional powerhouse. Each decade has been defined by deliberate investment in state-of-the-art technology in the development of a highly skilled, data-literate workforce, and in the adoption of sustainable practices that anticipate the demands of tomorrow’s market. Today, APICO is not only a market leader in the Kingdom but a strategic contributor to the national goals articulated in Saudi Vision 2030.
