New East Group, the authorised dealer of Isuzu in Saudi Arabia and a leading importer of automotive spare parts, has launched a new service center for commercial trucks, signaling the start of Neweast's strategic entry into Saudi Arabia's commercial transport sector.
The new service center in Riyadh represents an important move in the company's broader expansion plan - one aimed at enhancing its presence across the Kingdom. It reflects Neweast's ongoing commitment to quality, innovation and customer satisfaction, while also paving the way for new opportunities in the growing mobility sector. As the company strengthens its foundation, it's set to become a key player in shaping the future of commercial transportation in the region.
Spanning an impressive 5,000 sq m and built to the highest international standards, the state-of-the-art service center sets a new benchmark for customer care. Designed to elevate ownership experience, the facility offers a full spectrum of after-sales solutions - from advanced vehicle maintenance to the availability of genuine spare parts. With a focus on performance, reliability and innovation, New East is committed to keeping every commercial vehicle operating at its best.
Ahmed Juma Ahli, group CEO of New East, said: "This strategic move showcases the company's dedication to bolstering its footprint in the Saudi market but also aims to elevate the after-sales service experience." He added: "The new facility is a testament to Neweast's mission of delivering all-encompassing solutions tailored to customer needs, featuring authentic spare parts and the latest maintenance technologies."
Ahli emphasised the growth initiative aligns with the company's mission to play a leading role in realizing the ambitious Saudi Vision 2030. This vision seeks to transform the automotive industry and elevate the Kingdom's status as a premier regional powerhouse in this arena.
In an exciting development, Ahli has unveiled Neweast's expansion as the official distributor for Isuzu vehicles in Jeddah, specifically the MU-X and D-MAX models. This partnership Isuzu Motors International Operations (Thailand) Co., Ltd. presents a golden opportunity to redefine the transportation industry, infusing it with a touch of luxury and efficiency. This collaboration showcases the trust that global partners have in Neweast's capability to deliver solutions tailored for the local market.
Since its inception in 1992, New East Company has carved out a niche as a premier provider of spare parts for Japanese, Korean, and European vehicles. Their dedication to quality and exceptional service has firmly established them as a frontrunner in the industry, amplifying their influence across regional markets.
When New East made its debut in the Saudi market in 2000, it embarked on a journey of excellence, relentlessly pursuing a holistic experience that fulfils customer desires and aligns with the evolving nature of the Kingdom's automotive sector.
In 2025, the company unveiled its strategic alliance with Anadolu Isuzu in Turkey, marking its role as the official and exclusive distributor of Isuzu buses in the Kingdom. This highlights Neweast's dedication to revolutionising transportation, offering opulent solutions and sophisticated designs that resonate with contemporary aesthetics and a forward-thinking spirit of innovation.

Guntermann & Drunck and VuWall launch VisionVS

VisionVS combines G&D's Vision product line of dedicated, high-performance KVM and KVM-over-IP solutions with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. Guntermann & Drunck (G&D), in partnership with its sister company VuWall, has announced the launch of VisionVS, a compact dual-encoding appliance designed to transform control room operations by merging video wall visualisation and KVM control into a single, streamlined solution. This innovation promises to simplify system integration, improve deployment efficiency, and enhance round-the-clock operational performance across demanding control environments. Andreas Gerlach, EVP of Innovation at VuWall and G&D, said: 'VisionVS marks a significant advancement in control room technology. By merging the strengths of VuWall's video wall visualization technology and G&D's world-class KVM capabilities, we're delivering a solution that simplifies integration, accelerates deployments, and ensures reliable 24/7 operations. It's a game-changer for both integrators and end-users.' The VisionVS appliance integrates G&D's Vision KVM systems with VuWall's VuStream IP encoding technology. It captures video from KVM sources and simultaneously transmits two separate streams: a high-quality G&D bluedec stream directed to G&D KVM matrix systems, and a proprietary VuWall stream delivered to PAK processors for video wall display, remote access or operator stations. This dual-streaming capability ensures pixel-perfect visuals with near-zero latency, while also enabling content to be efficiently shared across remote sites. The result is a significant reduction in required hardware, cabling, and components, streamlining control room architecture. Technically versatile, VisionVS supports both fiber and copper connectivity and is equipped with a DisplayPort DP1.1 input and loop-through HDMI 1.4 output, each supporting resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 30Hz or 2560×1600 at 60Hz. Both encoded streams offer full encryption and up to 4:4:4 color fidelity, delivering high-quality visual output with minimal bandwidth consumption. By reducing installation components and simplifying real-time signal distribution, VisionVS empowers integrators to compress project timelines and lower long-term support costs. Meanwhile, end-users in mission-critical environments — such as emergency response centers, security operations, transportation hubs, and process control facilities — gain immediate access to vital information through a more intuitive and responsive control room setup. With VisionVS, G&D and VuWall are setting a new standard for integrated control room systems, offering a powerful, unified solution that meets the growing demands for efficiency, flexibility, and reliability in modern operational environments.
