Riyadh, August 31, 2026: Lenovo has unveiled its first laptop manufactured in Saudi Arabia at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh, marking a significant milestone in the company\u2019s expansion in the Kingdom and its efforts to strengthen local capabilities in advanced manufacturing, technology and innovation.<\/p>\n
The laptop is among the first products to emerge from Lenovo\u2019s new manufacturing facility in Riyadh, developed as part of the company\u2019s strategic collaboration with ALAT, a Public Investment Fund-backed company, to establish advanced manufacturing capabilities in Saudi Arabia and integrate them into Lenovo\u2019s global manufacturing and supply-chain network.<\/p>\n
Lenovo said the newly unveiled laptop was produced in Riyadh, while mass production of a limited range of products is expected to begin in late 2026. The facility is designed to strengthen local industrial capabilities while supporting Lenovo\u2019s regional and global operations.<\/p>\n
The Riyadh facility forms part of Lenovo\u2019s global manufacturing network of more than 30 sites across 11 countries. According to the company, it is also the first Lenovo facility globally designed to produce its full portfolio, including PCs, desktops, Motorola smartphones and servers.<\/p>\n
The development builds on Lenovo\u2019s strategic partnership with ALAT, announced in 2024 and completed in January 2025 through a $2 billion investment, alongside agreements aimed at expanding Lenovo\u2019s global footprint and strengthening manufacturing capabilities in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
In February 2025, Lenovo and ALAT broke ground on the new Riyadh manufacturing facility, which spans approximately 200,000 square meters. The facility is planned to manufacture millions of laptops, desktops and servers annually, supporting Saudi Arabia\u2019s ambitions for economic diversification, industrial development and technological advancement.<\/p>\n
The partnership extends beyond manufacturing. Lenovo is working with ALAT, the Human Resources Development Fund and the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources to develop Saudi talent in engineering, smart manufacturing and advanced technologies.<\/p>\n
The company has already begun training Saudi engineers at its global manufacturing facilities, supporting knowledge transfer and strengthening local capabilities in advanced manufacturing, research and development, and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n
Lenovo is also expanding its broader presence in the Kingdom through its Middle East, T\u00fcrkiye and Africa regional headquarters in Riyadh, alongside plans to strengthen research and development activities and investment in local talent.<\/p>\n
The unveiling of Lenovo\u2019s first Saudi-manufactured laptop highlights the Kingdom\u2019s growing role in advanced technology manufacturing, innovation and global supply chains.<\/p>\n
Lenovo says Saudi Arabia is expected to play an increasingly important role in its global manufacturing, innovation and supply-chain network. The company\u2019s investments with ALAT also support the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, including industrial development, knowledge transfer, job creation and the expansion of a technology-driven economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
