In May 2022, Sdyss Elevator, a domestic provider of elevator equipment and solutions, announced a major cooperation milestone – the formal establishment of a strategic partnership with Riyadh Elevator Technology Branch (hereinafter referred to as “Riyadh Branch”) in Saudi Arabia. The first order transaction exceeded $80,000, marking Sdyss Elevator’s successful entry into the Middle East commercial elevator market and laying a crucial foundation for subsequent regional business expansion.
This cooperation stemmed from the strong demand in Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure market. In 2022, under the framework of Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030”, the construction of commercial complexes and industrial parks accelerated, driving dual demand for elevator equipment upgrades and new configurations in the region. In particular, there was an urgent need for durable commercial elevators suitable for high-temperature and dusty climates. As a local professional institution focusing on elevator sales and maintenance, Riyadh Branch had previously noticed Sdyss Elevator’s product advantages through cross-border industry exhibitions and took the initiative to initiate cooperation negotiations.
To meet the needs of the Saudi market, Sdyss Elevator set up a dedicated docking team and spent one month conducting multiple rounds of technical communication and demand adaptation:
– Optimized the heat dissipation system of the elevator traction machine and the dust-proof sealing design of the control cabinet to adapt to Saudi Arabia’s high-temperature environment (average daily temperature above 40℃);
– Upgraded core components such as car emergency lighting and anti-fall safety gears in accordance with the safety standards of the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO);
– Customized a package solution including 12 units of 1000kg-load commercial elevators, supporting door operator components, and a one-year maintenance parts package to meet the customer’s requirements for “fast delivery + localized services” and ensure direct compatibility with local commercial building installation scenarios.
After three rounds of detailed confirmation, the two parties formally signed a cooperation agreement in mid-May 2022, with the first order amount reaching $82,000. The agreement stipulated that Sdyss Elevator should complete the production and factory quality inspection of all equipment within 30 days, deliver the goods to Jeddah Port in Saudi Arabia via a dedicated Middle East sea route, and dispatch technical engineers to remotely guide the local team in installation and commissioning. The person in charge of Riyadh Branch stated at the signing ceremony: “The product adaptability and delivery efficiency of Sdyss Elevator fully align with our service commitments to commercial customers, and we look forward to deepening cooperation in the future.”
The Director of Sdyss Elevator’s Overseas Business Department also emphasized that this cooperation marked the brand’s first full-process implementation of “demand customization – fast delivery – technical support” for the Middle East market. In the future, the company will further optimize the local supply chain layout and provide more cost-effective elevator solutions for more Middle Eastern customers.
