CEVA Logistics has announced that it has signed a Joint Venture (JV) agreement with Almajdouie Logistics, a leading logistics providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
The signed agreement now awaits review and approval by the necessary regulatory authorities. CEVA Logistics would control the majority of the newly established joint venture.
The JV would mark a major milestone in both companies’ growth strategies. Almajdouie Logistics would benefit from CEVA’s strong global network, allowing it to serve its growing portfolio of customers with end-to-end integrated logistics solutions anywhere in the world.
At the same time, CEVA Logistics would continue building an established and strong presence in Saudi Arabia to fulfill its regional growth strategy. Once completed, the JV organisation would have around 2,000 employees in KSA and a local fleet of more than 2,000 assets.
The JV would target various industry verticals ranging from the conventional Saudi energy and petrochemicals industry to automotive, e-commerce, consumer and retail. The combination of regional knowledge and global solutions within the JV would allow many local customers to expand their geographic offering and allow global customers to better serve the Saudi Arabian market, reported CEVA Logistics.
Mohammed Almajdouie, CEO of Almajdouie Logistics, said: “By pooling our expertise and resources through this partnership, we aim to strengthen our competitive advantage and offer an integrated and comprehensive suite of logistics services enabling us to capitalise on the opportunities presented by the Kingdom’s vibrant and rapidly evolving business landscape.
