1 Introducing Saudi Vetonit Co. Ltd.
In 1981, Saudi Vetonit Co. Ltd. (Saveto) was established as a Saudi European joint venture, in partnership with the leading manufacturers of building finishing materials and specialty chemicals in northern Europe. In 1991, the Rashed Al Rashed Group assumed full ownership of Saveto, becoming the first Saudi company to offer a full range of advanced construction chemicals and building materials to the Middle East and North African markets (MENA region) under Saveto & Vetonit brands.
The Saveto Group provides services in the construction market in three business segments:
A. The projects division
Saveto provides various technical services free of charge such as specifications support, site supervision, technical submittals, site samples and demos.
B. The Vetonit retail division
Saudi Vetonit serves 3000+ retail outlets in Saudi alone. This wide network covers the whole of Saudi Arabia making Saveto’s product available instantly to the masses.
C. Saveto plasters division
Saveto is the first supplier in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to provide bulk supply of plaster products to projects with a complete end to end support of products, equipment and machinery as well as logistical support. The advanced plaster systems provided by Saveto increase efficiency, decrease waste at the same time being green low VOC products.
With these three core business segments Saveto offers a large variety of products in service of the construction industry. These products are distributed in these groups:

The product groups contain many subgroups covering all aspects and core requirements of civil work contractors in both sub-structures as well as super-structures providing end to end solutions. While companies look at product segmentations from a single viewpoint, Saveto with the customer always in mind also segments product usage based on the industry, providing solutions in a carefully segmented customer focus: Buildings, Industrial, Infrastructure etc.
Saveto works on continuous evolution of R&D work as well as literature creation in accordance with international standards and cooperation with international organizations. The company is a member of different associations and owns a R&D center in Saudi where the facilities available to Saveto are state of the art and the most advanced in the Middle East.
