Saudi Aramco announced on Monday a new end-to-end procurement and logistics hub joint venture with logistics firm DHL Supply Chain.
The new venture, which is expected to be operational in 2025, aims to provide top-notch integrated procurement and logistics services to further enhance supply chain efficiency as well as sustainability in the region, Aramco noted in a press release.
The JV, which the company said is the first-of-its-kind hub, will provide reliable and sturdy end-to-end services to customers within the industrial, energy, chemical, and petrochemical sectors.
