OUR STORY

Five Decades of Saudi Logistics

GES Logistics started in Jeddah in 1976 as Overseas Development Co. (ODC), serving the Kingdom's growing trade needs. Over five decades, we have grown alongside Saudi Arabia, expanding our infrastructure, deepening our expertise, and connecting Saudi businesses to global markets.

In 2010, ODC merged with Globe Express Services (GES) - founded in Charlotte, USA in 1990 - to form today's GES Logistics. The merger combined deep Saudi market knowledge with international freight network reach.

In 2023, Budget Saudi acquired a 70% stake in GES Logistics Saudi Arabia and UAE, marking a significant new chapter as part of the Unitrans Group, Saudi Arabia's leading integrated mobility and logistics platform.

In 2024, we launched MegaHub Riyadh - our flagship 3PL warehouse and the most advanced ambient logistics facility in the Kingdom.
