ASMO, the joint venture between Aramco and DHL Supply Chain, has expanded its Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) materials procurement scope with over 90 additional procurement agreements.
Since the procurement services pilot launched in July 2025, the total procurement scope under ASMO’s management exceeds 56,000 material items across multiple categories.
Diversified supplier base
Procurement agreements under management now exceed 380, supported by a diversified supplier base of more than 190 suppliers, alongside strengthened materials governance aimed at improving purchasing leverage and cost efficiency, according to a press statement.
“While the phased rollout continues, the scale and complexity now reflect a maturing procurement model. This progress reflects the trust placed in ASMO by Aramco and our responsibility to deliver sustained performance. The model being established today creates a scalable foundation designed to support evolving supply chain needs across the Kingdom and the wider region,” affirmed Salem Al-Huraish, ASMO Chairman.
Manage critical materials
“Our partnership with ASMO continues to strengthen our ability to manage critical materials with greater visibility and discipline. By transitioning Machinery and Static MRO categories into ASMO’s framework, we are strengthening how we manage critical materials and building a more robust procurement platform,” noted Sulaiman M. Al Rubaian, Aramco Senior Vice President of Procurement & Supply Chain Management.
By 2030, ASMO aims to oversee procurement activity exceeding US$ 8bn annually, underpinned by a standardized procurement model and ASMO’s nationwide logistics network of six strategically located facilities across the Kingdom, forming a unified supply chain backbone aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 objectives to enhance resilience, localization, and long-term economic value.
