Saudi Arabia’s leading cargo and logistics firm SAL Logistics Services and Rock-it Cargo parent GCL have agreed a strategic partnership.
The deal, signed at last week’s Transport Logistics Europe 2025 trade show in Munich, was described as a key milestone for SAL’s expansion plans internationally.
GCL, which also owns DIETL and CARS is a global leader in specialty logistics across live events and luxury goods logistics.
SAL is looking to expand its specialised logistics services within Saudi Arabia and across international markets, focusing on the entertainment, automotive, film and sports sectors.
This partnership brings together SAL’s advanced infrastructure and extensive local reach with GCL’s global expertise in handling high-priority, time-sensitive shipments.
The partners said they will deliver “best-in-class, integrated logistics solutions that ensure reliability, speed, safety, and full compliance with international standards”.
Omar Hariri, chief executive of SAL Saudi Logistics Services, said: “This agreement reflects our commitment to providing advanced logistics solutions that meet the demands of high-growth sectors.
“Our partnership with GCL represents an ambitious strategic step toward building a more sophisticated and integrated logistics ecosystem in the kingdom while gaining expertise in managing logistics solutions for global events such as the World Cup and automotive exhibitions—aimed at supporting sustainable growth and keeping pace with the evolving needs of the sector both locally and internationally.”
Daniel Rosenthal, president and chief executive of GCL, added: “We are proud of our continued partnership with SAL, which exemplifies the power of combining global expertise with regional capabilities to bring more iconic moments and precious assets to new corners of the world.
“As demand for live entertainment and the transport of high value goods increases across Saudi Arabia and beyond, our shared mission is to deliver fast, reliable, and innovative logistics services for every shipment is more important than ever.”
