Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia – 22 April 2025
In a major step toward strengthening Saudi Arabia’s digital infrastructure and industrial self-reliance, 4S (Supply and Support Service Systems Co. Ltd.) and Kyland Technology Co., Ltd., a global leader in industrial Ethernet innovation, have announced a strategic partnership focused on localizing the manufacturing of industrial network switches in the Kingdom.
This collaboration is part of a broader initiative to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and national industrial development programs such as Made in Saudi, aiming to bolster local content, secure critical supply chains, and build domestic technological capabilities.
The new alliance brings together 4S’s deep regional experience and operational reach with Kyland’s internationally recognized expertise in industrial networking—serving the Kingdom’s growing demand for secure, high-performance infrastructure solutions.
“This partnership represents a key milestone in our commitment to empowering Saudi industrial sectors with locally manufactured, globally competitive technologies,”
said Mr. Adrian Offield, Chief Technology Officer at 4S.
“It reflects our focus on not just importing technology, but embedding it—developing it here, training our talent, and creating sustainable national value.”
The initiative will foster technology transfer, local skills development, and enhanced assembly capabilities, particularly within the Kingdom’s industrial automation ecosystem. It also reinforces Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a regional leader in smart, secure, and resilient network technologies.
As national priorities continue to emphasize localization, cybersecurity, and innovation, the 4S–Kyland partnership is positioned to play a transformative role in shaping the future of industrial connectivity in the region
