What Wared Logistics does

Wared Logistics is a Saudi Arabia-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in Jeddah, founded in 2009 as a joint venture between Zahid Group Holding and Construction Products Holding Company (CPC), consolidating the parents' transport operations (Zahid Heanor and United Transport Company) into a single platform serving the MENA region. The company employs 1,500+ people, serves 500+ customers, and has completed 17,000+ projects, operating across an eight-city Saudi branch network plus Logistics Hubs in key regional distribution centers.

The company delivers an integrated portfolio organized under four operating subsidiaries: Wared Warehousing & Distribution (contract warehousing, cold chain and ambient storage, order fulfillment), Wared Transport (full truckload, container drayage, specialized heavy-lift up to 175 tons and 35 meters), Wared Express (less-than-truckload network across 7 Saudi terminals for shipments over 50 kg), and Wared International (import/export freight forwarding and customs clearance). The technology stack centers on a Warehouse Management System for enterprise-wide inventory visibility, Transport Management Technologies for centralized control-tower operations and billing, the Telargo system for fleet tracking and driver communications, and the Wared Express tracking/POD portal for customers. Facilities include multi-temperature warehouses in Riyadh and Jeddah (with a 2020 chilled warehouse in Khumra at +2 to +10°C and a 10,000-pallet ambient Jeddah facility) and a specialized heavy-lift fleet.

Wared operates a B2B enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing across all service lines, targeting multinational corporations, large Saudi conglomerates (including parent Zahid Group), and verticals such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical/healthcare, oil and gas downstream, retail, and construction/manufacturing. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring contract warehousing and cold chain subscriptions and transactional transport fees for FTL, LTL, specialized, and freight forwarding services. Named customers span marquee logos including Al Marai, McDonald's, Burger King, Nupco, Nahdi, Total, Kuehne Nagel, Hellmann, and the Saudi Ministry of Health. The company is privately held by its two JV parents with no disclosed external funding.
