Logistics company, DB Schenker, has announced an alliance with a real estate development company as it looks to enhance logistics infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.
In partnership with Riyadh-based Kaden, the extensive project will progress through several phases, each designed to accommodate different verticals, storage modes and temperature-controlled spaces. The first phase will be located in the Jeddah city.
“The importance of the partnership is underscored by the significant advancements it brings to DB Schenker’s logistics services,” said Vice President of Contract Logistics and Supply Chain Management for DB Schenker Middle East and Africa, Ako Djaf. “The state-of-the-art facilities within these logistics complexes will not only improve our service delivery, but also support the Kingdom’s economic diversification goals outlined in Vision 2030.”
Under the agreement, DB Schenker and Kaden will work together to develop custom-designed warehouses and logistics facilities that cater specifically to DB Schenker’s operational needs. Kaden’s design approach focuses on understanding client requirements to provide tailored solutions that enhance operational efficiency.
“We are pleased to partner with DB Schenker in developing dedicated warehouses for this global company,” said Kaden CEO, Mohammed Al-Othman. “This collaboration comes after Kaden’s success in developing specialised logistics areas with world-class infrastructure that meet the global standards of industry leaders like DB Schenker, contributing to the growth and development of the logistics services sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.”
