Swisslog Showcases Scalable Cold Chain Innovation with Multi-Temperature Solution in Riyadh
Swisslog will spotlight its AutoStore multi-temperature solution , a compact and scalable automated storage and retrieval solution that combines high-density storage with the flexibility to meet complex operational needs. The system's modular design enables seamless integration into existing infrastructures while maintaining minimal disruption and supporting future expansion. Its capabilities allow frozen, chilled, and ambient goods to be stored simultaneously within a single grid. This unique integration not only streamlines operations and reduces facility costs but also enhances energy efficiency and simplifies cold chain logistics.
Rami Younes, General Manager at Swisslog Middle East, commented: 'Saudi Arabia is witnessing a logistics revolution shaped by digital transformation and a growing e-commerce market. At Swisslog, we're proud to support the nation's goal to elevate its logistics market to $15.31 billion by 2030, with tailored automation solutions that address key regional challenges. Saudi Warehousing & Logistics Expo is the perfect platform to demonstrate how our technologies, like the AutoStore multi-temperature solution, can futureproof fulfilment strategies across industries.'
The AutoStore multi-temperature solution features a smart grid design that allows air circulation between zones, maintaining different temperatures ranging from -25°C to +6°C in one automated system. This helps businesses eliminate the need for multiple cold storage facilities, reduce energy costs by using eco-friendly refrigerants, and increase operator efficiency through the goods-to-person picking model.
Earlier this year, Swisslog reported significant growth in the Middle East, exceeding $60 million in project value across verticals such as food and beverage, grocery, fashion retail, and spare parts logistics. The company is expanding its footprint, with seven implemented or sold sites in Saudi Arabia and a growing team of resident engineers supporting current and future clients.
The company's client portfolio includes global and regional leaders such as AlMarai, Raha, RoboStores, Unilever, Pepsi, and more. Chalhoub Group and Swisslog recently partnered to launch 'Tawreed,' a state-of-the-art automated distribution hub in KSA designed specifically for the luxury fashion and beauty sector. Powered by Swisslog's AutoStore solution, the hub is expected to streamline supply chain operations, reduce costs, and provide scalable, high-efficiency storage that supports future expansion.
As the MEA logistics sector generated $83.1 billion in revenue in 2024, it continues to prioritise innovation and infrastructure investment. Swisslog is committed to helping businesses tap into this growth by delivering automation that is reliable, scalable, and aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.

Saudi central bank submits new banking draft law to legislative authorities
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's central bank has submitted a new banking draft law to legislative authorities, marking a significant step in strengthening the Kingdom's financial regulatory framework, according to the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Article IV Mission report for 2025. The IMF noted that the new Banking Law has been submitted for legislative approval, a risk-based supervisory framework is being refined, and a monitoring system has been introduced for large construction and infrastructure projects. Additionally, the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) is operationalizing its bank resolution function and has made good progress in establishing a crisis management framework that includes an emergency liquidity assistance framework, which the IMF said should be completed without undue delay. Improvements in enhancing the effectiveness of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT) supervision — including through thematic inspections — were also welcomed. The Article IV assessment affirmed the resilience of the Saudi economy, citing steady non-oil GDP growth driven by private investment and consumption, low inflation anchored at 2.2 percent, and unemployment levels below Vision 2030 targets. The banking sector was highlighted for its strong capitalization, with a solvency ratio of 19.6 percent at the end of 2024, record-low non-performing loans since 2016, and solid profitability indicators. SAMA is also reviewing its prudential toolkit to address risks from rapid credit expansion and has introduced a 100-basis-point countercyclical capital buffer to safeguard financial stability. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
