Unipart invests in Saudi supply chain

The largest economy in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia aims to position itself as a transport and logistics hub for Europe and Asia. As part of its Vision 2030 strategy the kingdom plans to attract US$3 trillion in investment over the coming years.

“As a British company with a diverse international reach working with leading global brands, Unipart is well positioned to offer our customers access to the rapidly-growing supply chain economy in Saudi Arabia, which is undergoing a significant transformation as a major logistics hub between Europe, Asia and Africa,” said Darren Leigh, Unipart chief executive.

Country director, Tahir Malik, will lead the expansion of Unipart’s operations in Saudi Arabia, bringing more than 20 years’ experience in logistics in the region.

“Tahir Malik brings two decades of experience of scaling supply chains and operations in Saudi Arabia, and we look forward to working with customers to best benefit from the government’s considerable investment in diversifying the economy, growth, and boosting productivity,” continued Leigh.

“With over half a century of expertise in supply chains, our established British heritage and a deep commitment to safety and sustainability, we are uniquely placed to offer customers a breadth of solutions for their supply chains, coupled with delivery of high performance and value,” he said.
