ALS plans to open ALS Saudi Arabia. The announcement comes in the wake of the launch of an air cargo terminal in Oman and a new contract for a pharmaceutical warehouse in Riyadh.
'This month we have won a project in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the first fully automated pharmaceutical warehouse in the country,' said ALS Logistics Solutions managing director Walid Khoury. 'It's a 120,000 square metre facility that will be built in several stages', adding that the first phase is worth AED50 million (US$13.615 million).
'With this project we'll be launching ALS Saudi Arabia. It's a huge and growing market and we need to have our own staff on the ground there,?Mr Khoury told Dubai's Logistics Middle East.
The plans come just months after the company handed over to Oman Air an automated air cargo terminal.
'Now in the second quarter we will hand over the second fully automated air cargo terminal to Oman Air in Salalah. This brings Oman to an 'air cargo operation up to a standard that is unsurpassed in the Middle East,' said Mr Khoury.
ALS now plans to open a representative office in Vietnam after winning a few projects in Southeast Asia.
