Sysmex signs government MOU to establish first diagnostic reagent factory in Saudi Arabia

2025/12/25 – Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Sysmex Healthcare Regional Headquarters announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the establishment of its diagnostic reagent factory in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This significant milestone marks a new chapter in the company's long-standing commitment to the Kingdom and represents a strategic investment in local manufacturing capabilities that will create employment opportunities and bring advanced diagnostic production closer to the healthcare providers and patients the company serves across the Gulf Cooperation Council region.


Sysmex served end-customers for several decades through local partners before establishing a direct affiliate in 2022, pioneering a direct business model that enabled closer collaboration with hospitals, laboratories, and healthcare authorities. Building on this foundation, Sysmex became one of the first Japanese companies across all sectors to establish a Regional Headquarters (RHQ) in Riyadh, demonstrating strategic foresight and commitment to the Kingdom well ahead of many global peers.

Since entering the Kingdom, Sysmex has actively contributed to Saudi Arabia’s healthcare ecosystem by delivering cutting-edge diagnostic solutions aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals. These solutions enhance clinical decision-making, improve operational efficiency, and support better patient outcomes.

Developing local talent is a cornerstone of Sysmex’s strategy as customer education remains central to Sysmex’s mission. Through technical workshops, clinical seminars, and digital learning via Sysmex’s internal training centre, Sysmex provides continuous professional development opportunities, ensuring clinicians can fully leverage advanced diagnostic technologies for improved patient care.

The establishment of local manufacturing capabilities reflects Sysmex's commitment to sustainability and its Eco Vision 2033 goals. By producing closer to the markets it serves, Sysmex will reduce CO₂ emissions, achieve best-in-class water utilisation, and establish a sustainable reagent factory for the customers in the Middle East.

The new reagent factory reinforces Sysmex's dedication to Saudi Arabia's healthcare transformation and economic development, as the company continues advancing healthcare standards and pursuing sustainable growth across the Kingdom.
