The company operates one of the largest car fleets in the Kingdom, with a network of rental outlets and workshop facilities located across the country.

The transaction valued Hanco at $140 million, and is one of the first cross-border transactions in Saudi Arabia for this year.

The transaction reinforces HSBC’s leading investment banking position in Saudi Arabia.
