Regional growth and entering the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) market
Mitsumi has a long-standing reputation for operational excellence across the Middle East and Africa, built on more than 25 years of delivering consistent results and fostering strong partnerships. The decision to enter KSA was driven by the need to bring our proven distribution model to a rapidly expanding market. KSA offers immense potential and our operational efficiency, honed in complex markets like Africa, allows us to seamlessly address the growing demand for high-quality technology solutions in the Kingdom.
Primary goals for establishing a presence in KSA
Our primary goal is to replicate the success we’ve achieved in other regions by providing reliable, efficient and scalable distribution services in KSA. We aim to establish ourselves as a leader in both the channel and end-user business models by leveraging our deep market understanding, operational agility and strong relationships with global tech brands and partners in the Kingdom. Our experienced team in KSA is well-equipped to drive business growth, focusing on building long-term partnerships that deliver value to both vendors and customers.
Advantages for partners and customers as an authorised distributor for HP

With an experienced local team that understands the intricacies of the KSA market, we offer customized support to partners, helping them optimise their business operations and drive growth by reducing turnaround time, ensuring product availability and providing ‘in-country’ support.
Leveraging HP partnership to meet the unique needs of the KSA Market
Our partnership with HP is grounded in a shared commitment to delivering operational excellence. We plan to leverage this partnership by offering tailored solutions that cater to the specific needs of KSA businesses, whether they operate in the retail segment, as channel resellers, or as value-added partners. Our local team’s experience, combined with our distribution expertise, ensures that HP’s products are not only accessible but also aligned with the needs of various industries across the Kingdom. We will also focus on delivering not only dependable, but efficient logistical services to ensure that our partners can operate without disruption.
Looking ahead – key initiatives for KSA
Our key initiatives for KSA include expanding our local team to further strengthen our on-the-ground presence and introducing new product lines from HP and other major brands. We are also evaluating options for IT value products and exploring opportunities within the Telco industry as part of our broader strategy to diversify our portfolio. Enhancing operational efficiency through improved logistics and supply chain management remains a priority, ensuring our partners have quick and reliable access to the products they need. Additionally, we’re investing in reseller enablement programs to provide our partners with the tools, knowledge, and support needed to drive their businesses forward, making collaboration with Mitsumi more profitable and beneficial.

Alignment with Mitsumi’s broader regional and global strategy
Our expansion into KSA is a critical step in our broader strategy to strengthen our presence in key markets across the Middle East and Africa. KSA’s rapidly growing economy offers tremendous opportunities and our expertise in operational efficiency and logistics positions us to become a leading player in the region. This move allows us to further enhance our regional network while continuing to deliver value to both our partners and vendors on a global scale.
