• To provide generator maintenance, engineering, and services after new plants were brought online
When ABB’s generator business was acquired by Alstom, the ABB-NPW relationship expanded and PEMCO continues to service the 120 ABB/Alstom turbines in Saudi Arabia.

Founder's Message
Starting with humble trading roots, our vision was simple – to create tangible value based on a focus on the social infrastructure needs of the Kingdom We seek to create positive economic impact and long-term value for our investors, the companies we invest in, the companies we advise and the Kingdom's economy and social welfare; achieving this through the commitment of our people, strategic partners and selectively invested capital. From affordable real estate, sustainable and renewable energy investments, healthcare and wellbeing projects, building materials, and utility services we have aligned ourselves with the broader long-term strategic goals of the Kingdom to provide a framework of services, support and infrastructure commensurate with the wealth and resources of Saudi Arabia. We draw strength from the selection of our international partners, who combine recognised excellence in their respective fields with a genuine long-term commitment to the region, and a willingness to invest both human and economic capital in our shared projects. Our approach to our investments is focused on the establishment of long lasting relationships that are founded and built on shared values and interests – including a commitment to applying the highest levels of transparency, trust and integrity to the way we conduct business. This commitment on shared interests is no better demonstrated than by the fact that Khashoggi Holding is a co-investor alongside our partners in each and every project we bring to the market. Our interests are fully aligned with those that we serve, an approach that both enhances our credibility and solidifies our relationships with our partners. Eventually, what matters is what we want to leave behind. Just as the Khashoggi family have benefited from the Kingdom, in return we hope to leave a legacy to benefit Saudi Arabia, a legacy that extends far beyond material wealth and numbers.

(1947-2013)
HISTORY
Dr. Mohamed Khaled Khashoggi was the personal physician of King Abdulaziz ibn Saud, the founder of the modern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the first to be internationally trained, receiving his medical degree from the Sorbonne in Paris.
During the reign of King Saud, he served as Deputy Director of Health, before the Directorate became a Ministry. The family retains close links to healthcare, and their Law Office is a key advisor to the government on healthcare issues.
In conjunction with the Juffali family, the Khashoggis imported the first electricity generator to Saudi, which was used to light the Mosque in the Holy City of Makkah. This was provided free of charge, but surplus capacity was used to light the shops and homes of the surrounding city, for which they can be regarded as having the first power generating business in the Kingdom, a sector they have retained close ties with up to the present day.
After leaving Dallah Albarakah, as which he served as the Managing Director for the Western Region, Eng. Almotazbellah Khashoggi founded Rotana Holding in 1988. Rotana oversaw agricultural aviation services for the Ministry of Aviation, and was also involved in the early days of media production in the Kingdom. Rotana was later acquired by the Kingdom Group, the investment holding company of Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Al Saud.
After many years of trading in parts and servicing in the power generation sector, Eng. Almotazbellah founded Power Equipment and Materials Company (PEMCO) in 1997.
The company was the exclusive service provider for Asea Brown Boveri (ABB) and later Alstom power generation turbine parts, materials, and engineering services, and oversaw ABB’s entry into the Kingdom.
The elder son of Almotazbellah Khashoggi, Motasem, studied law at Harvard, and returned to Saudi to found the Law Office of Motasem Khashoggi in 1997. Regarded as one of the leading practices in Saudi Arabia, it advises a number of government and sovereign institutions, in addition to prominent corporate and private clients.
The firm played a key role in drafting the Saudi Foreign Investment Law, the privatization of the Saudi Electric Company, advising on energy and power issues in the Saudi-WTO treaty establishment and developing current Saudi commercial law.
While not directly affiliated with Khashoggi Holding, the Law Office is an invaluable resource in supporting the holding company and its partners.
In 2009, PEMCO ended its exclusive alliance with Alstom, and continues to focus on services portion of the power generator services marketplace as one of the only independent operators in the sector.
In 2010, the family created Khashoggi Holding, a private equity business focused on reinvesting the proceeds of the legacy family businesses into a number of new ventures, primarily focused on the current significant investment in infrastructure in the Kingdom. The objective of the group is to develop long-lasting strategic investment partnerships to combine the family’s history, expertise and influence in the Kingdom with the technical and intellectual capital of international businesses.
