Riyadh: Wallan Trading Company, the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in Saudi Arabia’s Central Region, has been honoured with the prestigious “Legacy Partner” award at the Hyundai Partners Summit 2026 held in Boston, United States. The recognition is Hyundai Motor Company’s highest distinction for its certified global distributors, celebrating Wallan’s exceptional operational performance, customer service excellence, and more than four decades of partnership with the global automotive brand.
The award acknowledges Wallan Trading Company’s consistent commitment to delivering outstanding customer experiences while maintaining high operational standards across every aspect of its business. As Hyundai’s longest-serving distributor in Saudi Arabia, Wallan has represented the brand since 1984, playing a significant role in strengthening Hyundai’s presence and reputation across the Kingdom.
Commenting on the achievement, Fahad Al-Wallan, Chairman of Wallan Holding Company, described the recognition as a proud milestone for the organisation.
“Receiving the ‘Legacy Partner’ award is a source of great pride for all of us at Wallan Trading Company. It reflects the strength of our achievements, the success of our operational model, and the depth of our investments in talent, facilities, and digital transformation. This recognition confirms that our commitment to quality and performance is not simply a slogan, but a daily practice supported by institutional excellence and recognised by both our partners and customers,” he said.
He added that the award represents the success of a strategic partnership with Hyundai that has continued to evolve for more than 40 years, built on trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.
Hyundai Motor Company selects recipients of the “Legacy Partner” award through a comprehensive annual evaluation process that measures distributor performance across global markets. The assessment examines a wide range of key performance indicators, including sales growth, market share, customer satisfaction and loyalty, after-sales service quality, and compliance with Hyundai’s global corporate identity and facility standards. Receiving the award demonstrates excellence throughout the entire automotive value chain.
Al-Wallan said the honour serves as international recognition of the company’s contribution to Hyundai’s success in Saudi Arabia while motivating the organisation to continue raising customer service standards.
“This achievement is both a recognition of the value we deliver and a new starting point for further excellence. It strengthens our position as a benchmark for delivering an integrated customer experience and reinforces our standing as one of Hyundai’s most trusted global partners. We remain committed to becoming the partner of choice across every sector in which we operate, particularly the automotive industry, where Wallan Trading Company has built a legacy of excellence since its establishment in 1975,” he said.
The strategic relationship between Wallan Trading Company and Hyundai spans more than four decades, beginning with Wallan’s appointment as Hyundai’s distributor for the Central Region of Saudi Arabia in 1984. During this period, the company has expanded from a modest operation into one of the Kingdom’s most established automotive distribution networks.
Today, Wallan operates an extensive network of showrooms, sales centres, and after-sales service facilities across Riyadh, Qassim, Hail, Al Jouf, and several other regions, supporting Hyundai customers with comprehensive sales and maintenance services.
The latest recognition highlights Wallan Trading Company’s continued leadership in Saudi Arabia’s automotive sector and underscores the strength of its enduring partnership with Hyundai as both companies continue to invest in innovation, customer satisfaction, and long-term growth across the Kingdom.
