Case studies
Unipart - Global Manufacturing, Logistics, and Supply Chain Services
Overview
Unipart, a UK-based global provider of manufacturing, logistics, and consultancy services with operations in 20 countries, expanded into Saudi Arabia with AstroLabs to scale its presence as the Kingdom modernizes its supply chain.
Opportunity
Logistics sits at the center of Saudi Arabia's industrial transformation, with sustained government investment in supply chain infrastructure across air, sea, rail, and road. For a first-time entrant, the value was in moving quickly while navigating ministries and procedures that were new territory.
AstroLabs' role
We supported Unipart's market entry and establishment in the Kingdom, giving the company the local knowledge and ministry navigation it needed for a faster soft landing. Today, Unipart contributes to flagship developments, including NEOM's integrated port and supply chain ecosystem.

,
Having a partner who knows the ins and outs of every single ministry, being a foreign company, we don’t know about them. AstroLabs brings that local knowledge, and that is helping drive success for us.
