Kobelco x Al Marwan: New Excavator Dealership in KSA

The construction scene in Saudi Arabia is booming, and so are the heavy machines behind it. In May 2025, Al Marwan Machinery marked its latest milestone: we’re proud to officially become the authorized dealer for Kobelco excavators in Saudi Arabia.

This partnership is part of expanding access to world-class Japanese technology, offering innovative excavator configurations, and continuing a 20-year legacy of excellence between Al Marwan and Kobelco

This move is a cornerstone of our broader regional growth strategy beyond our UAE base, making it a major leap for the Kingdom’s heavy equipment industry and an opportunity for local contractors seeking high-quality excavators for sale.

The Legacy Behind the Deal

The collaboration between Al Marwan and Kobelco in Saudi Arabia reflects a strategic alliance that took a significant step forward in early 2024 with our appointment as the official dealer for Kobelco crawler cranes in the kingdom, providing powerful, efficient lifting solutions to contractors nationwide. Beyond Saudi Arabia, we hold dealership rights for Kobelco excavators and cranes in the UAE, KSA,  Oman, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon.

Earlier this year, we celebrated 20 years of partnership with Kobelco, reflecting on two decades of trust, innovation, and shared growth. And now, we’re thrilled to take this collaboration to the next level by becoming the go-to source for excavators in Saudi Arabia, from compact diggers to long-reach amphibious machines.

Expanding Across the Kingdom

Our entrance into the Saudi excavator market is a part of Al Marwan’s regional growth plan, where we’re establishing deeper roots in key cities like Dammam and Riyadh. These hubs are central to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 goals and growing infrastructure needs, where demand for reliable heavy equipment is at an all-time high.

Whether you're working on road construction, utility trenching, land reclamation, or megaprojects, Kobelco excavators are engineered to meet the challenge. And with Al Marwan’s presence expanding across the region, local contractors can now get faster access to sales, after-sales support, parts, and rental heavy construction equipment.
