DB Schenker, a global leader in logistics and transportation solutions, has established an alliance with Kaden, a premier real estate development and property management company, to significantly enhance logistics infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The first phase of this extensive project will be located in the Jeddah city. The project will progress through several phases, each designed to accommodate different verticals, various storage modes, and temperature-controlled spaces.

The agreement was formalized at Kaden’s headquarters in Riyadh, in the presence of Ako Djaf, Vice President of Contract Logistics and SCM at DB Schenker in the Middle East and Africa, and Engineer Mohammed Al-Othman, CEO of Kaden.

“The importance of the partnership is underscored by the significant advancements it brings to DB Schenker’s logistics services. 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,” said Ako Djaf, VP of Contract Logistics and SCM of DB Schenker in the Middle East and Africa.

Under this 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 innovative design approach focuses on understanding client requirements to provide tailored solutions that enhance operational efficiency. This collaboration aims to bolster the logistics sector, providing cutting-edge logistics services that meet global standards.

Engineer Mohammed Al-Othman expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are pleased to partner with DB Schenker in developing dedicated warehouses for this global company. This collaboration comes after Kaden’s success in developing specialized 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.”

In addition to improving logistics services, this partnership is poised to play a vital role in achieving the objectives of Saudi Vision. By enhancing the Kingdom’s status as a key logistics hub connecting three continents, the collaboration will create job opportunities, drive economic growth, and attract leading global companies to the region.

The strategic alliance between DB Schenker and Kaden underscores the commitment of both organizations to fostering innovation and excellence in logistics, further solidifying Saudi Arabia’s position as a pivotal player in the global logistics landscape.
