Saudi Arabia has achieved 3.22 percent share of the worldwide logistics services while Germany claimed the first place with 4.11 percent, said a top official. “Service excellence is a primary concern and serves as the backbone of our growth strategy in the Saudi Arabia,” said Nael Attiyat, sales and marketing director of TNT SAB KSA, a leading express company in the country. “Especially that domestic developments lead by the planned Economic Cities emphasizes the strong demand for sector growth.” “The cities alone would contribute an additional 86 to 129 million tons per annum which is approximately 30 percent of the expected growth in cargo flow through the Kingdom. Saudi Arabia domestic cargo demand alone is expected to grow by a 4 to 5 percent through 2020, while international flows are expected to grow at 5 percent and 7 to 8 percent for air and sea cargo, respectively,” Attiyat added. “Accordingly we have invested in new range of technology solutions as well as in human resources, increasing our manpower headcount by up to 20 percent,” he noted.
