Scan Global Logistics expands in Saudi Arabia

Global freight forwarder Scan Global Logistics (SGL) will open a new office in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, adding a new country to its global network by establishing new locations in Riyadh and Jeddah.

“Saudi Arabia is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies and a major player in international trade. By establishing our own organisation and presence, we can better control our service offerings to local and global customers,” stated Allan Melgaard, Global CEO for SGL.

Additionally, SGL’s new Managing Director of Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Afifi, commented, “I am delighted to take on the task of leading our new team in Saudi Arabia, where we have worked hard to get the right people onboard, that fits into the SGL organisation and our way of working. By carefully selecting and handpicking a team of highly skilled logistics experts with a deep understanding of the local culture and business practices, we gain a significant competitive advantage in the Saudi market with our own operations.”

The new offices will start with 20-25 employees in the first year and are expected to grow to 50 employees in the second year.
