SPL and JINGDONG Industrials Sign Strategic Partnership to Strengthen Industrial Supply Chains in Saudi Arabia
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, November 11, 2026 – Saudi Postal and Logistics (SPL) and JINGDONG Industrials (JDi), an industrial supply chain technology and service provider and a subsidiary of JD.com (also known as JINGDONG), have signed a Strategic Collaboration Framework to jointly develop a business-to-business (B2B) digital procurement platform. The partnership marks an important milestone in advancing Saudi Arabia’s industrial development ambitions under Vision 2030, supporting more efficient industrial procurement and stronger, more resilient supply chains across the Kingdom.
The signing ceremony was attended by H.E. Eng. Anef Abanomi, President of SPL, and Mr. Feng Guo, CEO of JD.com Middle East, alongside senior representatives from both companies. The agreement was signed by Eng. Rayan Alsharef, Chief Commercial Officer at SPL, and Mr. Steven Mei, CEO of JINGDONG Industrials Middle East.
The platform is designed to move beyond traditional transactional procurement. By combining SPL’s extensive local market reach and logistical capabilities with JDi’s comprehensive supplier network and extensive MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) and BOM (Bill of Materials) product portfolios, the collaboration aims to address critical gaps across upstream and downstream industrial supply chains.
For factories and enterprises across the Kingdom, the platform will offer streamlined digital integration, transparent sourcing, and localised inventory readiness, helping to establish the infrastructure needed to support long-term industrial self-reliance and advanced manufacturing capabilities.
The collaboration builds on JD.com’s long-term commitment to Saudi Arabia, where the company’s logistics, property and industrial supply chain businesses support local and international companies in serving customers across the Kingdom.
While building an integrated, end-to-end industrial supply chain requires sustained efforts and long-term strategic commitment, this strategic partnership represents an important step towards strengthening Saudi Arabia’s industrial competitiveness and enhancing the resilience and sustainability of its supply chains.

JINGDONG Industrials and Partners Launch Alliance to Strengthen Global Industrial Supply Chains
JINGDONG Industrials (JDi), JD.com’s industrial supply chain business, and industry partners launched the JDi Global Supply Chain Connectivity Alliance on October 14 at the China International Industry Fair in Shanghai. The initiative aims to connect manufacturers, customers and service partners through digital technology and international fulfilment networks, helping businesses improve sourcing and delivery across markets.
The alliance builds on JINGDONG Industrials’ growing international operations. The company has established a presence in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Hungary, Brazil, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, serving approximately 100 enterprises across sectors including automotive manufacturing, electronics and new energy. Its services support local and multinational businesses, as well as Chinese companies expanding internationally.
Local fulfilment is a key part of this approach. In Thailand, JINGDONG Industrials combines local sourcing, cross-border procurement and locally stocked inventory to meet different production needs. Orders fulfilled from stock held in Thailand can be delivered in two to three days, while cross-border orders typically take 25–35 days. These options help customers balance delivery speed, inventory needs and procurement costs.
At the accompanying international business forum, partners discussed how technology and closer collaboration could improve supply reliability. Chen Mo, Spare Parts Procurement Manager at Minth Group, highlighted the importance of connecting fragmented local demand with dependable global supply. He noted that Minth Group has worked with JINGDONG Industrials in Europe to address gaps in local sourcing and fulfilment, connect procurement systems, and reduce costs in selected product categories.
JINGDONG Industrials is also advancing the development and application of AI agents for customs clearance and warehousing, aiming to reduce routine administrative work across markets with different requirements. Alongside support for large enterprises, the company is extending its services to small and medium-sized businesses in international markets.
Through continued investment in local warehousing, distribution, and operations teams, JINGDONG Industrials aims to give customers and partners more reliable access to industrial products and services. The alliance provides a platform for further collaboration on these practical supply chain needs.

JD.com Joins World Retail Congress’ First World Retail Lab Asia in Hong Kong
This week, JD.com joined retail leaders from across Asia and around the world at the inaugural World Retail Lab Asia, organized by the World Retail Congress in Hong Kong from October 12 to 14. The event brought together senior executives and industry experts to exchange perspectives on the future of retail, emerging technologies, and opportunities for international collaboration.
Dr. Jianguang Shen, Vice President and Chief Economist of JD.com, delivered a keynote presentation titled “AI and the Future of Retail: Where Will the Next Wave of Growth Come From?”
Dr. Shen shared how AI is reshaping the retail value chain, from helping consumers make better purchasing decisions and improving merchant productivity to making physical supply chains more intelligent and efficient. “The next wave of retail growth will not come simply from more traffic or more products. It will come from AI reshaping the entire retail value chain,” he said.
A key part of this transformation is physical AI — taking AI beyond the screen and into real-world environments such as stores, warehouses, delivery networks and services. With more than two decades of experience across retail, logistics, healthcare and more, JD.com is exploring how AI can connect digital intelligence with real-world operations, turning predictions into decisions and actions across the supply chain.
Hong Kong offers a tangible example of this approach. Alongside JD MALL, JD.com is building deeper connections with local consumers through Kai Bo, which operates more than 100 stores across Hong Kong, while JD Logistics provides supply chain and logistics capabilities in the market. JD.com also aims to help Hong Kong brands connect more efficiently with consumers in the Chinese mainland and other global markets through its retail, logistics and supply chain network.
During World Retail Lab Asia, international retail delegates also visited JD MALL in Hong Kong as part of the program’s retail tours, offering an opportunity to see firsthand JD.com’s approach to integrated online and offline retail.
Through its participation in World Retail Lab Asia, JD.com continues to engage with the global retail community, sharing practical insights from its retail and supply chain operations while learning from peers across markets. As AI increasingly connects the digital and physical worlds, JD.com looks forward to working with retailers and partners in Hong Kong and globally to explore the next wave of retail innovation.
