Suliman Al-Oufi, CEO of Al Taiseer Group Talco Industrial Co. (TALCO)
Suliman Al-Oufi, CEO of Al Taiseer Group Talco Industrial Co. (TALCO) said that exports currently dominate more than 35% of the group’s production, which reinforces target growth on such side. 
In an interview with Argaam, the top executive added that the company plans to increase this percentage over the coming period, backed by solid operating fundamentals and adaptability with market updates, thus maintaining its positive performance.
He stated that TALCO continues to implement its long-term strategy, which focuses on promoting sustainable growth in vital sectors, expanding exports, and meeting the growing demand in local markets, in light of the accelerated implementation of projects under Vision 2030.
The profit growth during the second quarter of 2025 reflects the company’s strong operational performance, driven by an increase in sales volumes and a 16.4% increase in sales value, in addition to a 15.7% growth in other revenues, which boosted profitability, particularly in the project sales and export segments, according to the CEO.
Al-Oufi also indicated that there was no pressure on operating income during the quarter, highlighting that the ratio of administrative and marketing expenses to sales improved compared to last year.
He stated that the increase in revenues in Q2 2025 was spurred by sales growth in key segments, with sales in the aluminum segment rising by 5.5% and in the accessories segment by 2.8%. “Rising global aluminum prices also boosted revenues, given the company’s success in expanding its sales strategies to meet the growing demand from major projects and local and international customers,” Al-Oufi said.
He clarified that aluminum segment recorded SAR 170.75 million sales in Q2 2025, compared to SAR 145.02 million in Q2 2024. The accessories segment also recorded sales of SAR 8 million, compared to SAR 7.94 million in the same period a year ago.
As for the paints segment, he indicated that increased selling prices, coupled with higher sales volume, contributed to recording SAR 13.1 million sales in Q2 2025, compared to SAR 11.8 million in the same period of the previous year, which reflects the company’s resilience in responding to market changes while maintaining quality.
He further said that the growth in other revenues helped mitigate the impact of any provisions taken during the period, reflecting the company’s ability to effectively manage costs and achieve operational efficiency while maintaining good profitability.
According to Argaam’s data, TALCO’s H1 2025 profit fell to SAR 43 million, down 2% compared to SAR 44 million in the same period a year earlier. Meanwhile, the second-quarter profit rose by 3% YoY to SAR 21.4 million.
