The company was later run by his sons, Sheikh Khaled Juffali and Sheikh Walid Al Juffali (1955–2016) and supported by professional staff managing a wide range of investments, manufacturing, finance, real estate, distribution, and oil drilling throughout the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and North America.[4]
