Hoyer, one of the world's leading logistics providers specializing in liquid goods for the chemical, gas, and food industries, is further expanding its presence in the Middle East. Having already operated a warehouse and bottling plant in Al-Jubail since 2018, it is now opening a branch in Dammam.
Intermodal options are also possible in the future.
“Saudi Arabia is a strategically important growth market for the world and our group (...). The country’s economic dynamism and ambitious future plans offer great potential – especially for the chemical industry,” says Selcuk Cingi, Regional Director Middle East & India of the group. “We can now combine modular services even more effectively: from storage and filling into large and small containers to transport logistics.”
In the area of transport logistics, land transport within Saudi Arabia and to neighboring countries is being increasingly implemented. The plan is to expand services to include intermodal transport in the future. Saudi Arabia is also investing significantly in the expansion of its rail network.

With its global network of experts and specialization in road, rail and overseas transport, the international logistics company will be a strong partner for the movement of liquid goods once the rail expansion project in Saudi Arabia is completed.

“Demand – especially from the chemical industry – is constantly increasing. Our team on site is meeting this need, among other things, by using swap body tank containers, which have been particularly popular in Europe so far. These offer a higher volume than standard ISO tank containers, thus making land and intermodal transport even more economical,” explains Ahmed Al-Mualem, General Country Manager in Saudi Arabia.
