IHerb collaborates with CJ Logistics to enhance the accessibility of health and wellness products in the Middle East and Africa
On June 7, 2023, iHerb, a global leader in health and wellness, proudly announced a partnership with CJ Logistics, a leading logistics solution company, to jointly develop the first e-commerce center in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In response to the growing demand for health and wellness products from consumers, and given the attractive business environment, iHerb has chosen Riyadh as its operational center in the Middle East.
IHerb's Saudi Fulfillment house will be located in Riyadh's important strategic position, namely the newly developed integrated logistics bonded zone. At that time, customers will not only be able to enjoy iHerb's over 30000 products and quality services, but also experience faster delivery of goods. This project leverages its strategic position to build its own role, not only as an indispensable support for international trade, but also connecting Africa, Asia, and Europe, providing direct support for Saudi Arabia's 2030 vision.
The order Fulfillment house covers an area of 30000 square meters and has a large warehouse that can deliver a large number of orders every day. The project will begin construction in May 2023 and is expected to be operational by mid-2024. Initially, we will meet the product orders of iHerb customers throughout the Middle East region.
Mirie Chang, Chief Operating Officer of iHerb, said, "We are very excited about the company's next steps and their significance for customers in the Middle East and Africa region. This new advanced facility will further enable us to fulfill our mission: to provide customers with high-quality and affordable products, while also providing excellent service to customers around the world
IHerb has established a long-term partnership with CJ Logistics on this project, which has been providing support for iHerb's operations since 2018. This cooperation strengthens the commitment of the two companies to providing high-quality health and wellness products and reliable delivery services in multiple regions around the world.
