Savoye strengthens footprint in MENAT region following recent partnership with ILA

Partnership aims to distribute Savoye’s range of automated packaging solutions in Turkey

Savoye, a leading global warehouse automation integrator and software publisher, has announced its partnership with ILA, a Turkeybased integration services provider, to distribute its range of automated packaging machines in Turkey.

Savoye, which launched its new office in the UAE last year, is poised to enhance its presence in the MENAT (Middle East, North Africa and Turkey) region with the latest association.

The global planning solutions provider has already established a name in the Middle East since opening its office in the UAE, introducing advanced software and technologies that facilitate smooth supply chain operations for the industry.

Partnership

Savoye’s latest partnership with ILA will generate high sales for its automated packaging solutions, especially given Turkey’s population of over 80 million people and an abundance of e-commerce and retail industries with immense potential.

“Building business relations and partnerships has helped us grow more and strengthened our position as a leader in automation and intralogistics software and hardware solutions in the region. We look forward to our association with ILA, as this will facilitate sales of our automated packaging machines,” stated Alain Kaddoum, Managing Director, Savoye Middle East.

“The MENAT region has been embracing modern technologies rapidly, as we’ve witnessed since the pandemic, and we will continue to introduce our world-class solutions, in order to support and take the industry a step forward, as well as meet the needs of consumers,” he continued.

Integration services provider

ILA, a system integration services provider in Turkey, specializes in comprehensive planning system integration services by adding its own domestic machinery and warehouse management software to the products purchased through its partners.

In addition to delivering high-quality products, the firm caters to a wide range of markets like local and national brands, as well as global players. The partnership is set to boost the business growth for both parties and will enable Savoye to set a mark in Turkey.

“I strongly believe the new cooperation with Savoye will create added value to ILA through its automated packaging solutions, which will definitely be an exceptional solution for Turkish companies,” commented Emre Yenal, Managing Director, ILA.

Automation

“This not only allows us to automate the processes, but also helps us minimize the number of parcels, resulting in fewer transportation costs. Together with Savoye, we are confident to deliver the best value to our strategic partners,” he added.

The agreement between Savoye and ILA entitles the latter to promote, sell, install, and maintain Savoye’s range of automated packaging products. ILA’s integration solutions allow the creation of a robust ecosystem, positioning them to become a complete solutions provider by delivering all-round maintenance and services for Savoye’s offerings.

Turkish automation market

“At Savoye, we are very pleased about the partnership with ILA, one of the leading players in the Turkish intralogistics market. The combination of ILA’s experience on the local warehouse automation market, with Savoye’s comprehensive range of packaging machines can be combined to offer innovative solutions. These solutions mainly include Jivaro and the Jivaro Print version, catering to the needs of Turkey’s fast growing business sectors such as e-commerce,” explained Frédéric Zielinski, Managing Director, Savoye EMEA.

“We are proud of the work we are doing for the industry and will continue to offer comprehensive solutions that meet the needs of logistics organizations, ranging from the simplest to the most complex operations,” he further elaborated.

Savoye is an expert in the design and integration of automated and robotic intralogistics systems, as well as a publisher of supply chain execution (SCE) software solutions. Its products and services are deployed in over 40 countries, combining hardware and software, custom-built to accommodate customer needs.

Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant doubles clean electricity generation

Unit 2 adds a further 1,400 MW zero-carbon emissions electricity capacity to the UAE’s transmission grid

The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) recently announced the start of commercial operations of Unit 2 at the Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant.

Unit 2 adds 1,400 megawatts of zerocarbon emission electricity to the national grid, bringing the total produced by Units 1 and 2 to 2,800 megawatts and further securing energy supply and advancing the UAE’s sustainability goals.

This new milestone takes ENEC and its subsidiaries to the halfway mark of delivering on its commitment to supply up to a quarter of the country’s electricity needs, reliably powering the economy by generating clean electricity 24/7 and significantly contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 initiative.

The start of commercial operations at Unit 2 doubles the Barakah Plant’s generation of emissions-free electricity, enabling rapid decarbonization of the UAE’s power sector in pursuit of Net Zero 2050.

Diversifying energy resources

While increasingly supporting the country’s strategy to diversify energy sources in a shift towards cleaner energy, ENEC is also spearheading the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative by preventing millions of tons of carbon emissions and helping to tackle climate change, delivering climate solutions today.

When its four units are commercially operating, the Barakah Plant will produce up to 25% of the UAE’s electricity needs and will prevent about 22.4mn tons of carbon emissions annually, equivalent to the emissions of 4.8mn cars.

The Barakah Plant significantly boosts the UAE’s energy security through domestic clean electricity generation. By 2025, the Plant will be responsible for generating more than 85% of Abu Dhabi Emirate’s clean electricity making it the biggest contributor to reducing Abu Dhabi’s carbon emissions by 50% by the middle of the decade.

“The sale of electricity further supports Abu Dhabi’s Clean Energy Certification program, allowing more businesses to demonstrate the sustainability credentials and stimulating the growth of our Net Zero economy,” remarked Nasser Al Nasseri, CEO, Barakah One Company, ENEC’s subsidiary in charge of representing the financial and commercial interests of the Barakah Plant project.

The commercial operations of Unit 2 were completed with the continuous support of EWEC and the Abu Dhabi Transmission and Dispatch Company (TRANSCO) who ensure that the clean electricity generated at Barakah is delivered to consumers across the UAE in a safe and sustainable manner.

World-class experience

“The start of Unit 2 commercial operations comes as a result of the world-class operating experience of our teams made up of UAE Nationals and international experts,” commented Engineer Ali Al Hammadi, CEO, Nawah Energy Company, ENEC’s subsidiary mandated to operate and maintain the Barakah Plant.

Unit 2 joins Unit 1, which achieved commercial operation in April 2021. Units 3 and 4 are in the final stages of commissioning, with Unit 3 construction already complete and now undergoing operational readiness preparations, and Unit 4 in the final stages of construction completion.

The development of the Barakah Plant as a whole is now more than 96% complete, having steadily progressed since construction started in 2012.

The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant, located in the Al Dhafra region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is one of the largest nuclear energy plants in the world, with four APR-1400 units.
