Founded in 1976, in the realm of the economic boom of the mid 1970’s, Al-Hashimiah Establishment for Trading & Contracting (HATCO) was launched with the vision of creating a firm that could meet the growing demand of the rapidly developing Saudi Arabian construction industry for quality contractors. In order to cope with the demands of the 21st century and to insure the continuity of the establishment, in 2004 it was converted into a company with limited liability and by that the name became Al-Hashemiah Contracting Company (HATCO).
