Groupe SEB announces the strengthening of its presence in Saudi Arabia with the acquisition of a 55% stake in its Saudi distributor – Alesayi Household Appliances Co. LLC – a subsidiary of Alesayi Holding Group that exclusively sells the Groupe SEB's Consumer products on a local basis since 2009. This partnership aims to unlock future growth opportunities in the Saudi market through the local expertise of Alesayi Holding.
