ASMO

What ASMO does

ASMO (Advanced Supply Management Operations) is a procurement and supply chain services joint venture between Saudi Aramco (via Saudi Aramco Development Company) and DHL Supply Chain, established in February 2024 and headquartered in Dammam (Al Khobar), Saudi Arabia. The company operates a 4PL orchestration platform built around nine interconnected service modules: Supply & Demand Planning, Supplier Management, Sourcing & Procurement, Inventory Management, Supply Chain & Logistics Managed Services, Control Tower, Logistics Contractor, Reclamation Management, and B2B e-Marketplace. Its technology stack integrates AI for predictive analytics and supplier matching, IoT for real-time tracking, blockchain for goods movement transparency, automation, and collaborative robotics, all unified through a centralized Control Tower that provides end-to-end supply chain visibility. The platform was purpose-built to support Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 industrial diversification and localization objectives.

The company serves large enterprise customers in the energy, chemical, industrial, refining, manufacturing, aviation, and healthcare sectors across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region. Saudi Aramco is the anchor customer; ASMO currently manages three Aramco-owned facilities in Riyadh, Jazan, and the Central Pipe Yard (one of the largest pipe yards in the world), and has signed 16 MoUs with industry leaders including Baker Hughes, Halliburton, Schlumberger, Weatherford, Luberef, Petro Rabigh, SASREF, SATORP, YASREF, Sadara Chemical, SAMREF, ArcelorMittal, Tenaris, Vallourec, and Aloula Aviation. Technology agreements exceeding SAR 300 million (USD 81+ million) have been signed with Aramco Digital, SAP, and Oracle, and the company has separate MoUs with J.P. Morgan Payments for working capital and supply chain finance and Arcapita for facility development.

Revenue is generated through managed services (procurement, warehousing, logistics, and facility operations under long-term contracts such as a 22-year occupational lease at SPARK) and transaction fees via its brokerage model and B2B e-marketplace. ASMO is constructing its first purpose-built 1.4 million sqm logistics hub at King Salman Energy Park (SPARK) in partnership with Arcapita, targets a combined 8.5 million sqm footprint across six facilities by 2027, and projects managing procurement exceeding USD 8 billion annually by 2030. Current procurement scope includes 380+ agreements, 190+ suppliers, and 56,000+ material items.
