Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: ADNH Catering has acquired a 50% stake in Compass Arabia Limited, a Saudi joint venture (JV), accelerating its growth in the Kingdom.

Starting from August 2025, the JV's performance will now be consolidated into ADNH Catering's financial results, according to a press release.

The acquisition is part of ADNH Catering’s regional expansion strategy, aiming to rebrand Compass Arabia and implement the group’s operational and growth strategies in the Saudi market.

Clive Cawley, CEO of ADNH Catering, said: “The step-up acquisition and takeover of management of Compass Arabia Limited marks a strategic milestone in pursuing our Group's growth strategy in Saudi Arabia and across the GCC.”

Compass Arabia has a 12-year track record in Saudi Arabia. The acquisition deal allows the ADX-listed group to take over the management, bringing the growth, procurement, and operational expertise to a promising market.

This follows ADNH Catering’s recent acquisition of Food Nation Catering, a major player in the UAE education sector, highlighting the group’s aggressive approach to strategic investments in the region.

In November, ADNH Catering announced plans to raise its stake in Compass Arabia from 30% to 50%, and in December, it signed a sale and purchase agreement with Al Rushaid Group to acquire the additional 20% from the Saudi JV.
