MASARAT, TASARU give pace to local manufacturing

MASARAT Mobility Park has inked development-lease pacts with TASARU Supplier Hub to bring automotive suppliers into one location and strengthen the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) vehicle supply chain. The move is aimed at speeding up local manufacturing, reducing reliance on imports, and improving how auto parts move between suppliers and carmakers.

“The partnership will accelerate the localisation of suppliers, fortify supply chain readiness and support growth of a competitive automotive ecosystem within KSA,” said Tienie Ferreira, CEO, MASARAT Mobility Park.

The pact will allow TASARU Supplier Hub to set up operations inside MASARAT Mobility Park and develop manufacturing facilities for global tier I suppliers. They are likely to support OEMs such as Ceer, KAEC’s first EV brand, and Lucid Motors.

The mobility park is situated within the King Salman Automotive Cluster in the SEZ at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). The location may streamline automotive logistics by keeping production, component supply, and service providers closer. The park will offer an integrated industrial environment to help suppliers establish facilities faster, improve operational linkage, and support efficient movement of auto parts across the supply chain.
