The Zahid family has been connected to commerce for over a century and in 1950 a chance meeting with Caterpillar resulted in a close-knit relationship. Since then Zahid has distributed Caterpillar machinery and equipment to the Kingdom’s private and public sectors. This partnership eventually led to the formation of Zahid Group’s flagship company, Zahid Tractor & Heavy Machinery Co. Ltd., in 1967 by the late Sheikh Yousuf M. Zahid.

Over the years, Zahid Tractor has added international brands such as Challenger agricultural tractors, JLG material handling equipment, Rammer industrial hammers, Renault trucks, Svetruck specialized lifts, Terex cranes, and Volvo trucks and buses.
