January 2026 : Master Builders Solutions, a global heavyweight in construction chemicals, has finalized a definitive agreement to acquire Arkaz Al Sharq Building Materials (Arkaz) from Alturki Holding. The move signals a major strategic expansion into Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s most rapidly evolving construction markets.

Arkaz, a premier Saudi-based provider, has spent over 15 years building a reputation for excellence in concrete admixtures, waterproofing, and specialty building products. With production sites in Dammam and Jeddah, the company is deeply embedded in the Kingdom’s infrastructure, supporting landmark sustainable development projects.

This acquisition is more than just a geographic expansion; it is a play for the heart of the Middle East’s industrial future. By integrating Arkaz’s local expertise and established network, Master Builders Solutions positions itself as a central player in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative. The partnership will enhance support for the Kingdom’s massive giga-projects, infrastructure, and residential developments.

“Saudi Arabia’s construction sector presents one of the most promising growth landscapes in the world today,” said Boris Gorella, CEO of Master Builders Solutions. “By bringing Arkaz into the Master Builders Solutions Group, we are positioning ourselves at the heart of future demand and laying the foundation for long-term success in a market with immense strategic importance.”

The deal combines Master Builders’ global R&D power with Arkaz’s regional agility. The focus remains firmly on sustainability - accelerating the development of high-performance admixtures that reduce CO2 emissions in concrete production.

Karsten Eller, COO of Master Builders Solutions, emphasized the operational strength of the deal: “Our investment in Arkaz reflects our confidence in both the company and the broader prospects of the Saudi construction market. This acquisition will strengthen our operational capabilities and deepen our commitment to fostering growth in one of the world’s most dynamic building environments.”

The transaction is currently awaiting regulatory approval from the General Authority for Competition (GAC) and the Ministry of Foreign Investment in Saudi Arabia.
