Nedap Security Opens New Office in Saudi Arabia

Nedap, a global leader in advanced access management and Digital Twin Technology, has announced the opening of its new office in Saudi Arabia. This expansion marks a significant milestone in Nedap’s 20-year presence in the Kingdom, transitioning from regional representation to a dedicated local office

With Saudi Arabia advancing its Vision 2030 initiatives, demand for integrated security solutions is increasing. Nedap’s local office will address this need by offering direct access to its “Technology for Life” approach, connecting physical security with digital transformation.

A New Standard for the Saudi Market

The opening of the Saudi office means more than just a new address; it represents a commitment to the Kingdom’s “Smart City” and “Giga-project” ambitions. By having a permanent base in Riyadh, Nedap is positioned to support the region’s unique infrastructure needs with:

• Integrated Ecosystems: Moving beyond standalone security to data-driven environments where access control, HR systems, and building management work in unison.
• Compliance & Regulatory Expertise: Ensuring all solutions align with local mandates, including the standards set by the High Commission for Industrial Security (HCIS).
• Lifecycle Partnership: Shifting the market from transactional sales to long-term lifecycle support, essential for the Kingdom’s multi-decade infrastructure projects.

“Saudi Arabia is a cornerstone of our global growth strategy,” said Maarten Van Cauwenberghe, Managing Director META & APAC at Nedap. “Our local presence allows us to be a true partner in the Kingdom’s transformation, supporting projects that require the highest levels of scalability, interoperability, and long-term adaptability.”

Empowering Local Partners

The establishment of the local office provides security integrators and consultants with direct access to Nedap’s technical and commercial infrastructure. This local presence addresses several critical project requirements:

• Localized Technical Support: Partners now benefit from real-time expertise within the same time zone, reducing lag for complex architectural queries.
• Nedap Security Academy: Localized training and certification programs will empower Saudi-based engineers to become experts in AEOS and PIAM (Physical Identity & Access Management).
• Strategic Collaboration: Partners can expect hands-on support for site visits, Proofs of Concept (POCs), and joint tendering for the Kingdom’s most prestigious contracts.

Leadership for the Future

To lead this new chapter, Nedap has appointed Junaid Ul Haq as Country Director for Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. With 18 years of experience at Nedap, Junaid brings an unparalleled understanding of how security technology must evolve to meet the scale and ambition of Saudi projects.

“Being physically present allows us to engage much earlier in the project lifecycle,” said Junaid Ul Haq. “It builds a foundation of trust. We aren’t just delivering a system; we are contributing to the very fabric of the Kingdom’s future.”
