Riyadh Expo: Swisslog to Showcase $60M Regional Growth
This highlights their commitment to innovation and strengthening their presence in the Middle East's evolving logistics and supply chain sectors
Swisslog, a global pioneer in advanced robotic and data-driven automation solutions, is set to exhibit its latest warehouse automation technologies at the upcoming Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo, scheduled from May 27–29 in Riyadh. The event serves as a pivotal gathering for logistics and supply chain professionals, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to drive innovation and modernization across key sectors.
Spotlight on Multi-Temperature AutoStore System
At the forefront of Swisslog’s showcase will be its next-generation AutoStore multi-temperature solution—a compact and scalable automated storage and retrieval system. This solution is designed to support complex operations by allowing simultaneous storage of frozen, chilled, and ambient goods within a single modular grid. Its flexible architecture ensures smooth integration into existing infrastructures with minimal disruption while accommodating future growth.
Rami Younes, General Manager at Swisslog Middle East, commented: “Saudi Arabia is witnessing a logistics revolution shaped by digital transformation and a growing e-commerce market. At Swisslog, we’re proud to support the nation's goal to elevate its logistics market to $15.31 billion by 2030, with tailored automation solutions that address key regional challenges. Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo is the perfect platform to demonstrate how our technologies, like the AutoStore multi-temperature solution, can futureproof fulfilment strategies across industries.”
Energy Efficiency and Cold Chain Optimization
What sets the AutoStore solution apart is its smart grid configuration, which facilitates air circulation across different temperature zones ranging from -25°C to +6°C. This integrated approach enables businesses to eliminate multiple cold storage facilities, lower operational costs using environmentally friendly refrigerants, and boost productivity through the goods-to-person picking model, streamlining the cold chain logistics process.
Rapid Growth in the Middle East Market
Swisslog has experienced robust growth in the Middle East, surpassing $60 million in project value in 2024 alone. These projects span a variety of sectors, including food and beverage, grocery, fashion retail, and spare parts logistics. The company continues to expand its regional presence, with seven sites either operational or under development in Saudi Arabia and a growing network of resident engineers supporting its clients on the ground.
Prestigious Clientele and Strategic Partnerships
Swisslog’s client roster includes top regional and global names such as AlMarai, RoboStores, Unilever, Pepsi, and Raha. A notable recent collaboration with Chalhoub Group led to the launch of ‘Tawreed’, a cutting-edge automated distribution hub in Saudi Arabia tailored for the luxury fashion and beauty sector. Leveraging the AutoStore solution, the facility is designed to streamline logistics, reduce operational costs, and offer scalable, high-efficiency storage that supports long-term expansion.
Enabling Future-Ready Logistics for Vision 2030
With the Middle East and Africa logistics market generating $83.1 billion in revenue in 2024, the region continues to prioritize innovation and infrastructure upgrades. Swisslog is committed to empowering this growth through reliable, scalable automation solutions that align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, positioning businesses for long-term success in an evolving logistics landscape.
