Ceva Almajdouie Logistics – a joint venture (JV) between Ceva Logistics and Saudi Arabia’s Almajdouie Logistics – has appointed Stefano Pollotti as its ceo.
Pollotti previously spent more than 10 years at Gefco, which was acquired by Ceva’s parent organisation CMA CGM in 2022. Since then, he served as the regional managing director IMEA and APAC for Ceva’s finished vehicle logistics division.
“With his extensive experience and strategic vision, he will focus on driving operational excellence, nurturing a culture of continuous improvement, and delivering sustainable value across all areas of the business,” said Ceva Almajdouie Logistics.
The JV was formed in 2024 at a signing ceremony at the opening Global Logistics Forum in Riyadh. The venture subsequently strengthened its operational capabilities with the delivery of Ceva Almajdouie-branded trucks and cars to meet the market’s growing demands and to support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, the initiative aimed at diversifying the Kingdom’s economy.
Ceva is also set to further expand its presence in the project logistics sector through the planned acquisition of Italian specialist Fagioli. The company entered into a share purchase agreement at the end of last year to acquire 100 percent of the Italian organisation. Private equity firm QuattroR represents the largest shareholder of Fagioli Group, while the remaining shares are held by the family of its long-time chairman, Alessandro Fagioli.
