The problem we solve
Buying industrial goods abroad and getting them onto a Saudi site are two different problems, and most suppliers only solve the first. We do both. You give us a specification and a delivery date, and we come back with a landed, duty paid price to your site rather than a factory gate quote you then have to move yourself.
- Sourcing against your specification, not a catalogue
- Supplier vetting and pre-shipment inspection
- Landed, duty paid pricing to your site
- Conformity and SABER registration arranged
What the scope includes
- Specification review and sourcing
- Supplier qualification and negotiation
- Sample approval and factory inspection
- Purchase, consolidation and export packing

Capabilities
How the service actually runs
Four areas where the detail decides whether a shipment is straightforward or expensive.
Quality assurance
Factory audits, sample approval and pre-shipment inspection so that what leaves the origin warehouse is what you specified, verified before it is paid for and shipped.
Landed cost pricing
One price covering goods, freight, insurance, duty, VAT and delivery. No separate freight invoice arriving weeks later and no surprises at the port.
Compliance and registration
SABER product certificates, SASO marks and SFDA registration handled as part of the supply, so regulated goods clear on arrival instead of sitting in bond.
Questions
General Trading: the things clients ask first
Industrial consumables, building and finishing materials, mechanical and electrical equipment, safety products, and spare parts for plant and fleet. If it is imported into the Kingdom regularly, we can usually source it.
Yes, and we will tell you honestly if their price is already good. Where we add value is usually the landed cost and the compliance, not the unit price alone.
Terms depend on the value and the supplier, and are agreed in writing before purchase. For repeat customers we work on account against approved credit.
