New Medlog 1 facility strengthens multimodal connectivity and creates 400+ jobs in the Kingdom
Medlog, a leading global provider of logistics and supply chain solutions, has officially opened Medlog 1, a state-of-the-art integrated logistics park in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Spanning more than 100,000 sq. m and offering an annual handling capacity of over 300,000 TEUs, the new facility is designed to strengthen the reach of both global and local customers across the kingdom.
The large-scale development represents a major investment in Saudi Arabia’s logistics infrastructure, reinforcing the country’s strategic ambition to position itself as a global trade hub connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa.
The logistics park will create more than 400 direct and indirect job opportunities, contributing meaningfully to employment and economic growth in the Eastern Province.
“With the launch of this industry-leading facility, we are making a significant contribution to the Kingdom’s multimodal transportation ecosystem. By linking King Abdulaziz Port and the east to Saudi Arabia’s central and western regions, this facility strengthens inland freight connectivity,” said Hisham Al Ansari, President of Medlog Saudi Arabia.
By enhancing connectivity between King Abdulaziz Port and key inland markets, Medlog 1 addresses one of the most critical elements of modern supply chains: seamless multimodal integration. The facility supports road, rail, and port links, ensuring smoother cargo movement across the country.
“Medlog 1, part of Medlog’s broader commitment to Vision 2030 ambitions, will not only expand international access and service efficiency for our customers but also boost economic diversification and generate employment,” he stated.
Strategically located near Jubail Industrial City and major urban centres, Medlog 1 is positioned to serve both industrial and commercial hubs. The facility integrates value-added services such as cross-docking, packaging, and labelling, supported by on-site logistics management offices.
This comprehensive approach is set to optimise logistics efficiency, enhance market access and support re-export operations across the Gulf region.
Medlog 1 offers a comprehensive approach to container, general cargo and bulk storage and handling, serving both local and international customers. High-quality, integrated logistics services include container handling, storage, eco-friendly cleaning, repair, port shuttling, and inventory management.
The park also provides reefer and ISO/flexi tank services such as cleaning, repair, inspection, and food-grade tanker support.
Technology and sustainability are at the heart of the development. The facility will adopt advanced solutions such as GPS-enabled trucking while contributing to a safer port environment through the use of alternative energy sources. These measures align with Saudi Arabia’s broader environmental and digital transformation goals under Vision 2030.
“Medlog 1 demonstrates Medlog’s commitment to the Kingdom, strengthening infrastructure and expanding access to international markets in alignment with Vision 2030,” remarked Giuseppe Prudente, Chairman of Medlog.
“Saudi Arabia is a strategic corridor with access to rapidly growing markets across three major continents. By leveraging the world’s largest ocean liner together with our growing footprint, Medlog can deliver unmatched solutions and value to our customers. Building this modern, integrated logistics hub, we proudly contribute to Saudi Arabia’s global competitive advantage and sustainable economic growth,” he added.
With its scale, integrated services, and strategic positioning, Medlog 1 is more than just a logistics park. It is a powerful enabler of trade, industrial expansion, and economic diversification, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s rise as a global logistics powerhouse.
