SYDNEY/RIYADH - Dematic, a leading global automation technology provider, has announced the opening of its new office in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This strategic expansion further solidifies Dematic's commitment to the Middle East region and reflects its dedication to delivering innovative solutions tailored to local market demands.

Building on its success in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where it has an office in Dubai, Dematic’s expansion into Saudi Arabia demonstrates its vision to extend its on-the-ground operational reach across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

“The opening of our office in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a significant milestone for Dematic,” says Mithun Perinchery, Head of Sales for the Middle East, Turkey & Africa. “We have seen tremendous success in the UAE, and expanding into Saudi Arabia allows us to further leverage our global expertise and provide solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers in the region.”

In the region, Dematic is well recognised for being chosen as a trusted automation provider by the Landmark Group for their expansive O-mega automated distribution centre. Situated in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), this facility serves as a central hub for supplying regional warehouses across GCC countries, as well as directly to stores and consumers.

Dematic has implemented several other significant automation projects in the region, including automated storage systems for leading food and beverage manufacturers and automated order fulfillment systems for pharmaceutical and automotive spare parts distribution operations.

Perinchery continues, “Our goal is to consolidate our position in the Middle East as the partner of choice for logistics automation and software. We are a global technology company that provides global experience with delivery expertise and local service and support.”

Dematic has had a longstanding presence in the Middle East, dating back to 2004. Our strategic focus on bringing new technology and innovative solutions to Saudi Arabia aligns with Saudi Arabia's ‘Vision 2030’, which aims to empower citizens and businesses to reach their full potential, diversify the economy, support local content, and drive innovation and growth across various sectors.

Dematic's expansion into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia comes at a time of rapid growth and transformation in the region's supply chain landscape. With a focus on industries such as food and beverage, retail, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and automotive spare parts, Dematic aims to address the growing demand for automation solutions that maximise capacity and productivity and enhance efficiency, throughput, speed and accuracy. The solutions will feature Dematic software and technologies such as automated storage and retrievals systems (AS/RSs) and good-to-person (GTP) systems that included Dematic Multishuttle^® and AutoStore^™, powered by Dematic.

The new office in Saudi Arabia is strategically located in Riyadh allowing Dematic to be closer to its customers and enhancing its service capabilities in the region. The office will serve as a hub for Dematic's operations, sales, customer service, and project management activities within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a dedicated team of experts to ensure seamless project execution and ongoing customer service.
