The new facility will complement the company’s existing 16,000 square meter logistics terminal in the Jebel Ali Free Zone.

Phase one of the new facility will be equipped with temperature controlled VNA (very narrow aisle) racking and conventional ambient racking. Total capacity will exceed 20,000 pallet locations, with over 5,000 square meters of handling area for value added services like kitting and final assembly activities. The building will be a modern shared logistics environment for customers across different industries. Special security requirements and dedicated storage and handling equipment for customers from the high tech and pharma industries are also implemented in phase one.
