JAS and Naqel have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic partnership aimed at enhancing logistics capabilities in Saudi Arabia and across the region. The collaboration will leverage Naqel’s extensive regional network and JAS’s global logistics expertise to deliver innovative, multi-modal solutions.
Naqel, a subsidiary of Saudi Post Logistics (SPL), offers comprehensive coverage across the GCC region. By joining forces with JAS, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing privately-owned logistics companies, the partnership is poised to support the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030 goals of strengthening trade integration, accelerating economic diversification, and fostering sustainable logistics solutions.
“This partnership marks an exciting milestone for JAS as we expand our presence in Saudi Arabia,” said Erwin Wittemaier, Area VP of JAS Middle East. “By combining our global reach with Naqel’s deep-rooted regional expertise, we can unlock the full potential of the highly promising Saudi Arabian market.”
Dr. Sohail Choudhry, CEO of Naqel Express and Group Chief Commercial Officer of SPL, emphasized the significance of the partnership, stating, “This partnership is a bold step towards strengthening our joint position in the region, opening new trade lanes, and supporting our SPL Group vision to be a National Logistics champion which reimagines logistics and enhances experiences for our customers.”
The MoU was signed by Dr. Adnan Almazrooa, Deputy CEO of Naqel, and Erwin Wittemaier, Area VP of JAS Middle East, in the presence of Dr. Sohail Choudhry, Justin Sloan, Chief of Freight Forwarding at Naqel, and senior leaders from both organizations.
