TALKE has built a strong footprint across four GCC countries, following the growth of the chemical industry in the region. The company entered the Middle East in 2003 in Saudi Arabia through a polypropylene project with Tasnee, leading to the formation of the S.A. TALKE joint venture in 2004. Further expansion followed with operations in Oman (2006), a major project in Qatar (2008), and the establishment of RSA-TALKE in the UAE in 2013, completing TALKE’s GCC presence with state-of-the-art warehousing in Dubai.

Today, TALKE operates in all major petrochemical hubs across the Gulf, including Jubail, Yanbu, Mesaieed, Sohar and Dubai. With more than 20 years of regional experience and over 3,000 employees in the Middle East, TALKE combines deep local expertise with uniform Group standards, positioning itself as a trusted and leading partner for outsourced petrochemical logistics in the region.

• On-Site Logistics: Comprehensive on-site logistics at major petrochemical complexes, including packaging, material handling, and plant operation support (e.g. managing packaging lines and warehouses for clients). TALKE can manage entire logistics centers or individual facilities on behalf of customers, ensuring seamless integration with production operations.
• Polymer & Bulk Handling: Specialized expertise in polymer granules logistics – each year TALKE handles millions of tons of polymer products in the Gulf region. Capabilities include silo storage, bulk loading/unloading, and packaging (bagging & drumming) of plastics and chemicals for export.
• Liquid Chemicals & ISO Tanks: Safe transport and handling of liquid chemicals and dangerous goods, leveraging TALKE’s core competence in bulk liquids. Services include ISO tank container management, tank cleaning stations, and temperature-controlled transport as needed for chemical and life science products.
• Engineering & Consultancy: Turnkey logistics solutions from design to operation. TALKE brings European engineering know-how to plan and build state-of-the-art logistics facilities for the chemical sector. We advise on supply chain optimization and implement custom solutions – from container terminals to dedicated warehouses – tailored to GCC market needs.

• Warehousing & Storage: Operation of advanced chemical warehouses, including dedicated dangerous goods facilities. For example, our RSA-TALKE joint venture in Dubai World Central offers 19,000+ pallet spaces for hazardous and non-hazardous chemical storage, while a second site in Jebel Ali Free Zone adds 10,000 pallet positions plus drumming and bulk liquid storage capabilities.
• Transport & Distribution: End-to-end transport services for solids and liquids across the GCC. TALKE manages road tanker fleets for bulk chemicals, container drayage for ports, and intermodal solutions. We handle 750+ truck movements per day at some client sites, ensuring reliable delivery from plant to port with real-time tracking and trained drivers.
• Value-Added Services: A broad range of on-demand services to support the chemical supply chain. These include repackaging and filling (e.g. drumming liquids, bagging polymers), container terminal management and yard operations, equipment maintenance, and cleaning of tanks/IBCs. TALKE’s technical teams run on-site workshops for clients, performing maintenance of robotic packaging lines, safety inspections, and spare parts management to maximize uptime.
• HSSEQ Management: Rigorous Health, Safety, Security, Environment & Quality management underpins all services. TALKE’s Middle East operations are ISO-certified (ISO 9001, 14001, 45001) and adhere to global Responsible Care standards. We maintain dedicated HSSE teams at every site, ensuring compliance, emergency preparedness, and continuous training so that operations meet the strictest safety benchmarks.

• Petrochemicals & Polymers: Core focus on petrochemical producers – from polyolefins (polypropylene, polyethylene) to specialty chemicals. TALKE’s on-site teams serve major polymer plants and chemical complexes in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain, handling products for companies like SABIC, TASNEE, Sadara, and more. Our logistics expertise helps these producers store, package, and export polymers and chemicals efficiently to global markets.
• Chemicals & Specialty Manufacturing: Support for industrial chemical manufacturers and specialty chemical companies across the GCC. We manage hazardous and non-hazardous chemical logistics, including handling of specialty chemicals and liquid hazardous goods, which allows local chemical industries to expand their product range confidently. From basic chemicals to additives and coatings, TALKE provides safe storage and transport aligned with strict quality standards.
• Oil & Gas Downstream: Services extend to downstream oil and gas projects – for example, managing logistics for refining by-products, petrochemical feedstocks, and derivatives. TALKE’s project teams operate in key industrial hubs (Jubail, Yanbu, Ruwais, Sohar, etc.), supporting refineries and joint-venture downstream plants with on-site logistics, container yard management, and distribution of finished chemical products.
• Life Sciences & Related Sectors: Through RSA-TALKE in the UAE, we also cater to life science and healthcare chemical needs. Our Dubai facilities can store pharmaceuticals, laboratory chemicals, and related materials under controlled conditions. With temperature-controlled storage and high safety protocols, TALKE ensures that even sensitive life science supplies are handled to the same rigorous standards valued by our petrochemical clients.
