Agility partners with Saudi Railway Company to enhance logistics infrastructure

Agility, a global supply chain services, infrastructure, and innovation company, has signed an MoU with the Saudi Railway Company (SAR) to explore opportunities for inter-modal storage, transportation, and processing facilities in Sudair City for Industry and Businesses, as well as near King Khalid International Airport.

As part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 strategy, the Kingdom is heavily investing in modernising and expanding its logistics and transportation infrastructure to position itself as a global hub for logistics and trade.

Supporting various sectors

Agility has been active in Saudi Arabia for over 20 years, with its Agility Logistics Parks (ALP) business developing and operating advanced logistics and warehousing facilities in Riyadh and Dammam. A third logistics park is currently under construction in Jeddah. The Riyadh Logistics Park features "green" buildings, the first EDGE Advanced-certified warehouses in the GCC.

Agility also supports Saudi Arabia's energy, aviation, and e-commerce sectors, with its venture arm investing in local startups in e-commerce and digital freight matching for the trucking industry.

In 2023, Agility signed an MoU with the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) to strengthen the healthcare sector by expanding digital health services and localising the medical technology supply chain.

Additionally, Agility is a significant shareholder in DSV, a global logistics provider and a key partner in the NEOM mega-city project, aimed at transforming the Kingdom’s northwest region into a futuristic smart city.

“Saudi Arabia is rapidly moving toward achieving its goal to be one of the world’s most important centres of trade, transportation and logistics,” said Agility vice chairman Tarek Sultan. “Agility has been a long-time supporter, partner and investor in the Saudi logistics sector. We have decades of experience here, and we’ve built some of the Kingdom’s most advanced logistics infrastructure. We see a future where Saudi and the region lead the world's supply chain sector. We thank SAR for giving us the opportunity to be part of this future and the opportunity to contribute to Saudi's growth and success story”
