Riyadh Integrated, developed by SILZ Company, is redefining the logistics landscape in Saudi Arabia by offering a fully integrated supply chain ecosystem that surpasses traditional logistics parks. According to Dr. Fadi Al-Buhairan, SILZ Company leverages advanced technology and seamless airport connectivity to create a hub for efficient and sustainable end-to-end logistics operations.
Strategically located near King Khalid International Airport and connected by a bonded corridor, Riyadh Integrated allows swift movement of goods between airports, seaports, and dry ports across the Kingdom. This infrastructure, combined with Saudi Arabia’s expanding highways and multimodal transport links, positions Riyadh Integrated as a leading logistics platform, as reported by SILZ Company.
A key part of SILZ Company’s strategy is attracting a diverse mix of global tenants, including multinational corporations and logistics leaders from high-growth sectors such as ICT, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, e-commerce, and aerospace. These companies benefit from proximity to the airport, streamlined regulatory support, and incentives like simplified permit processes, relaxed labor laws, and favorable tax policies.
Riyadh Integrated offers a one-stop-shop for business setup, enabling companies to establish operations within five days, according to SILZ Company. This ease of doing business, coupled with access to a market that reaches over 70% of the world’s population within an eight-hour flight, makes it an attractive destination for international firms.
Air cargo operations are further enhanced by the zone’s direct connection to King Khalid International Airport Cargo Village, significantly reducing transit times. SILZ Company is also developing a centralized digital platform to optimize tenant operations, improve cost efficiency, and provide complete supply chain visibility.
Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, SILZ Company is focused on advancing the Kingdom’s logistics capabilities and supporting national goals. Dr. Fadi Al-Buhairan emphasizes that the company aims to boost Saudi Arabia’s ranking in the Global Logistics Performance Index, attract foreign direct investment, and stimulate local industry by encouraging tenants to source from local suppliers and invest in manufacturing and assembly within the Kingdom.
Workforce development is another priority, with SILZ Company supporting the localization of talent and job creation in line with Vision 2030 objectives. Flexible labor policies are provided initially, but there is a clear commitment to increasing Saudisation and building a strong local workforce over time. An example cited by Dr. Fadi Al-Buhairan is the recent launch of a manufacturing facility by a tenant, expected to create numerous jobs and produce millions of Saudi-made electronic devices.
Through its integrated infrastructure, digital advancements, and focus on human capital, Riyadh Integrated—anchored by SILZ Company—is helping transform Saudi Arabia into a global logistics powerhouse and a center for innovation in supply chain management.
