The recognition highlights the company’s longstanding partnership with Hyundai,
operational excellence and leadership in customer experience.
Saudi Arabia, Riyadh, 29 July 2026:
Wallan Trading Company, the official distributor of Hyundai vehicles in the Central Region of Saudi Arabia, has been awarded the prestigious “Legacy Partner” accolade at the Hyundai Partners Summit 2026, held recently in Boston, United States. The award, Hyundai Motor Company’s highest distinction for its certified global distributors, recognises Wallan Trading Company’s outstanding operational performance and longstanding commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences throughout its decades-long partnership with the brand. Wallan Trading Company is also Hyundai’s longest-serving distributor in the Kingdom, having represented the brand since 1984.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Fahad Al-Wallan, Chairman of Wallan Holding Company, said: “Receiving the ‘Legacy Partner’ award is a source of great pride for all of us at Wallan Trading Company. It stands as a testament to the strength of our achievements, the success of our operational model, and the depth of our investments in talent, facilities, and digital transformation. This award reaffirms a simple truth: our commitment to the highest standards of quality and performance is not a slogan—it is a daily practice, an institutional effort, and a deeply rooted conviction recognized by our partners and customers alike. This honor is the result of a strategic partnership with Hyundai that has grown and evolved for more than 40 years, built on trust, solidarity, and continuous development.”
Hyundai Motor Company grants the “Legacy Partner” award based on a comprehensive annual evaluation of its distributors across global markets, identifying top performers through a rigorous system of indicators and criteria. The assessment covers multiple elements, including sales volume and growth, market share, customer satisfaction and loyalty metrics, after-sales service quality, and adherence to corporate identity standards and facility requirements set by the parent company. Earning this distinction is therefore a clear testament to excellence across every stage of the value chain.
Mr. Al-Wallan added: “Winning this esteemed award is global recognition that Wallan Trading Company delivers tangible value to Hyundai and its customers in the Saudi market. It also marks a new starting point and is a powerful motivator for us as we continue striving to offer the best possible experience to our customers across the Kingdom. This achievement further reinforces our position as a benchmark for delivering an integrated customer experience while strengthening our standing as one of Hyundai’s most trusted global partners. We remain committed to our vision of being the partner of choice across every sector in which we operate—particularly the automotive sector, where Wallan Trading Company has built a legacy of excellence since its establishment in 1975.”
The two companies share a long-standing strategic partnership spanning more than four decades, beginning when Wallan Trading Company first secured the Hyundai distributorship in the Central Region. Over the years, operations have grown from a modest network into one of the most established and expansive automotive distribution networks in Saudi Arabia, encompassing showrooms, sales centers, and after-sales service facilities across Riyadh, Qassim, Hail, Al Jouf, and other regions.
