Motion Supply Chain

What Motion Supply Chain does

Motion Supply Chain is a privately held logistics and supply chain services provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon, with operational offices in Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam), the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), and a wholly-owned French subsidiary (Motion Supply Chain France SAS) near Paris. The company delivers a vertically integrated portfolio spanning six service lines: Supply Chain Consultancy, Order Management, Global Forwarding (air, sea, road, rail), Customs & Compliance, Warehousing & Distribution, and Risk Management. Its underlying capability is positioned as Lead Logistics Provider (4PL) execution, allowing clients to engage one partner across consulting, ERP/CRM integration, transportation outsourcing, and operations.

The company's asset base is concentrated in Saudi Arabia, with roughly 24,000+ M² of combined warehouse capacity across Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam. Its technology layer is described as a single cloud-based unified global logistics management system enabling real-time inventory visibility, booking, and tracking through a customer portal. Motion serves six industry verticals — Retail & Fashion, Healthcare, Energy, Aviation & Aerospace, Automotive, and Project Cargo — with dedicated go-to-market pages and claimed industry-specific expertise from 2PL through 4PL.

Commercially, Motion operates a B2B enterprise direct-sales model with no publicly disclosed pricing and a request-a-quote funnel. Revenue streams span transaction-fee freight forwarding, managed-services warehousing and distribution, and professional-services consultancy and customs engagements, typically structured as multi-year contracts. The company is founder-led (Charles Sarkis as CEO, Founder & Managing Director), has no disclosed outside funding, and carries no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
