Dell Technologies recently announced the opening of its first merge and fulfillment center in Saudi Arabia. Located in Dammam, in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province, the hub is engineered to handle up to 600,000 units per year, across all Dell’s product lines as customer demand grows.
The Dammam center also features a second touch manufacturing facility for product customization of Dell’s servers to ensure they meet specific customer needs. This makes the servers ready-to-use, reduces time-to-market, and enhances customer satisfaction.
Dell has also relocated its Flat Panel Monitor Hub to the Dammam facility to serve local customers, offering shipment deliveries within two days to reduce lead times and enhance operational excellence.
The opening of the new facility represents a pivotal step in advancing the Kingdom’s ICT ecosystem. The Saudi facility is Dell’s fifth in the EMEA region and reinforces the company’s commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 in driving economic diversification through technological innovation.
Creating jobs
The strategic investment builds on Dell’s regional headquarters license to operate in Saudi Arabia and will support Saudi Arabia in creating new jobs across logistics, manufacturing, and technical fields, training local talent and nurturing a culture of innovation.
“This facility will help create jobs and strengthen our local manufacturing and supply chain capabilities aligned with Vision 2030. Together, Saudi Arabia and Dell are building a dynamic and resilient digital economy,” stated Eng. Haytham Alohali, the Saudi Arabian Vice Minister of Communications and Information Technology.
“By leveraging over 30 years of Dell’s supply chain expertise, combined with investments in local talent, infrastructure, and training, we are dedicated to empowering local and regional businesses to thrive in a digital-first economy,” commented Adrian McDonald, President-EMEA, Dell Technologies.
