Arabian American Development Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1967. The company’s principal business activities include developing mineral properties in Saudia Arabia and the United States and manufacturing various petrochemical products. ARSD owns the rights to a significant undeveloped mine in Saudi Arabia. The Company has formed a joint stock corporation with Saudi investors.
