“This is an important milestone in Saudi Tabreed’s journey and a very proud moment to be associated with the PIF. It marks a new chapter for the Company’s future. We are very excited about the growth opportunities that this valuable partnership will bring to the Company,” Mohammed Abunayyan, Saudi Tabreed’s chairman, said.
