ASMO, the joint venture between Saudi Aramco Development Company and DHL, has announced the launch of its procurement services for material commodities related to Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) as part of its procurement wave 2 rollout.
This milestone builds on ASMO’s successful launch of general supply materials procurement, which took place in 2025, expanding ASMO’s scope of procurement services to cover Electrical, Instrumentation, IT Materials, and general supplies. It brings the total number of procurement agreements under ASMO’s scope to 289 agreements with 126 suppliers and 30,000+ material items.
As part of this rollout, ASMO has introduced standardized supplier registration and pre-qualification, strengthened the supplier onboarding and management process, while improved control, visibility, and compliance as ASMO’s procurement volumes continue to grow.
Meaningful progress
“Our partnership with ASMO continues to deliver meaningful progress. By transitioning critical MRO categories and broadening ASMO’s operational scope, we are building a foundation for scalable growth and long-term value. This progress reflects our continued focus on efficiency and resilience, supporting our vision for a more integrated and sustainable supply chain ecosystem,” affirmed Sulaiman M. Al Rubaian, Aramco Senior Vice President, Procurement & Supply Chain Management.
“By consolidating demand, pooling resources, and standardizing supplier engagement, ASMO is unlocking economies of scale, improving cost efficiency, and strengthening supply chain resilience. This model establishes a scalable foundation aligned with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambition to build competitive, future-ready supply chains,” explained Salem Al-Huraish, ASMO Chairman.
Future procurement waves are expected to extend through 2027 and may include additional material categories such as Drilling and Chemicals and Project Materials, supported by a broader and more integrated supplier network.
