Kafou Group was established in 1983, in Riyadh. With the rising need for power services in the governmental and private sector, the company began with electromechanical projects' setup, operation, and maintenance.

Kafou formed strategic partnerships with leading German, Italian, Korean, and Japanese companies in the fields of electricity, power, water treatment, and petrochemicals.

This eventually led to establishing a number of subsidiaries and considerable expansion in operations; the result of which was the Kafou group of companies, harmoniously working together under the supervision of highly qualified management.
