SISCO unit signs deal to build SAR 550 mln logistics park

Saudi Industrial Services Co. (SISCO) said its majority-owned subsidiary Saudi Trade and Export Development Co. (TUSDEER), signed on Thursday a 30-year agreement with Jeddah Development and Urban Regeneration Co. (JDURC) for the lease of over 630,000 square meters of land to establish a logistics park on a build, operate, and transfer (BOT) basis.

SISCO, which owns 76 percent of the SAR 140 million subsidiary, said the park will cost about SAR 550 million over the next eight years, and will be financed through retained earnings and new loans.

The project, located in Al-Khumra zone of South Jeddah, consists of a state-of-the-art integrated warehousing complex that will offer TUSDEER’s customers a secure storage and distribution center.

SISCO said the new deal won’t have significant impact on this fiscal year’s financial results.
