(MENAFN) South Korean car manufacturer Hyundai announced on Thursday that it has commenced construction on a new production facility in Saudi Arabia, marking its inaugural manufacturing hub in the Middle East.
According to a report by a news agency, a ceremony was held on Wednesday to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Middle East (HMMME) facility.
The event took place at the King Salman Automotive Cluster, situated in King Abdullah Economic City, representing a major step in Hyundai's international growth strategy.
