iHerb Riyadh fulfillment center opened on February 16, 2026, marking a significant expansion of the company’s operations in the Middle East and North Africa region. The 40,000-square-meter facility is located in the Special Integrated Logistics Zone and operates in partnership with CJ Logistics.
The climate-controlled facility is designed to maintain product quality throughout storage and distribution. The center aims to reduce delivery times and shipping costs for customers across Saudi Arabia and the wider MENA region.
Facility Specifications and Operational Capabilities
The iHerb Riyadh fulfillment center spans 323,000 square feet at Building 8791 on 105th Street in Riyadh. The facility features advanced automated solutions, including multi-shuttle racking and zone-to-zone picking systems for inventory management and packaging operations.
CJ Logistics operates the center as a third-party logistics provider. The partnership between iHerb and CJ Logistics began in 2018 when the logistics company supported the launch of iHerb’s first international fulfillment center in Incheon, South Korea.

“Opening a fulfillment center in Riyadh marks an important step in expanding our global footprint and deepening our presence in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East.”

Zach Thomann, Chief Operating Officer of iHerb, said the launch represents a strategic advancement of the company’s global supply chain. The facility enables consistent service quality and faster fulfillment across the region.
Alignment with Saudi Vision 2030
