Dell Technologies today announced its intention to open a new integration and logistics center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which includes a manufacturing operations facility.
This strategic investment reflects Dell’s leading position, which secured it a license to open a regional headquarters in the Kingdom. It also reinforces the company’s commitment to achieving the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to advance and enhance economic diversification through technological progress.
The new center, headquartered in Riyadh, will handle all Dell product lines in the Kingdom, including laptops, desktops, servers, storage units and networks. This, in turn, will help manage the growing demand for Dell’s comprehensive consumer and enterprise solutions, create additional services and offerings, reduce product delivery times, and enhance customer satisfaction. In addition, Dell will move its flat panel display center to Riyadh, to be able to store inventory and deliver it directly to customers with same-day or next-day shipping.
The Saudi facility is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2024, making it the first facility in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa region, and the third for Dell in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region, which joins two other centers in Ireland and the Netherlands. The new facility will play a pivotal role in accelerating the growth of the information and communications technology sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by creating new job opportunities, training local talent and promoting a culture of innovation.
