ASMO Launches New Warehouse Operations

On January 14, 2025, ASMO, a joint venture formed by Saudi Aramco and DHL, proudly announced the launch of its operational activities during the iktva Forum Exhibition 2025 in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. This momentous event took place under the esteemed patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, marking a key milestone for the venture just one year after its establishment.

A Landmark Partnership

The operational launch is complemented by an extensive 15-year agreement with Aramco for Procurement and Logistics Hub Services. This strategic partnership outlines a comprehensive framework for collaboration, designating ASMO as a service provider for Aramco's logistical needs. Under this agreement, ASMO will deliver integrated supply chain services that span procurement, demand planning, inventory oversight, logistics, warehousing, and the creation of crucial logistics hubs, alongside access to a B2B e-marketplace.

Sulaiman M. Al Rubaian, Senior Vice President of Procurement & Supply Chain Management at Aramco, commented: "This agreement reflects Aramco's commitment to enhancing supply chain operations and strengthening local capabilities. Our long-term agreement with ASMO showcases our trust in their ability to provide streamlined and integrated supply chain solutions that will optimize operations and promote cost-efficiency."

Operational Foundations

The inaugural warehouse operation will be based in Riyadh, intended to bolster Aramco's operations in the central region. According to ASMO CEO Craig Roberts, "The launch of our first warehouse in Riyadh alongside our strategic partnership with Aramco is a pivotal step towards establishing a robust logistics network across the Kingdom. We are dedicated to expanding our capabilities to tackle current supply chain challenges and offer valuable solutions that benefit businesses in Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region."
