About the Company

Afras was set up in 1976 to compete for building, and hospital operation and maintenance contracts in the central region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Since then, we’ve expanded to cover a range of business areas, including hospitality, security, pest control, housekeeping and cleaning, and landscaping and commercial gardening.

Not only are we highly regarded by our clients, we also enjoy classification grades in nine areas from the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs’ Contractors Classification Agency. For example we hold Grade 1 classification in both the Maintenance of Buildings and the Maintenance of Medical Centers.

We’ve also expanded into other regions: starting with a further branch in the western region in Jeddah, we then opened offices in Dammam, Taif, and most recently Makkah. Our plan is to open further Afras branches to improve our service throughout the Kingdom.
