Integrated logistics solutions provider Kuehne+Nagel is developing a new e-commerce fulfilment and distribution centre in EZDubai.
With a groundbreaking ceremony, Kuehne+Nagel marked the construction of the centre, a dedicated e-commerce zone in Dubai South, closely located to Al Maktoum International Airport and connected to Jebel Ali Port via a bonded logistics corridor.
The location and connectivity of the new centre will function as a hub for trade across the region, giving customers easy access to a variety of logistics solutions. They can benefit from the exemption of customs clearance procedures within the bonded logistics corridors ensuring the efficiency and reliability of their operations, the company said in a statement.
The new fulfilment centre, designed under LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver requirements, will offer over 23,000 square meters of state-of-the-art warehousing space, equalling about 45,000 pallet positions.
The centre is set to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2025. The site was developed by Dubai South and Aldar Properties.
“With the development of this new e-commerce fulfilment centre, Kuehne+Nagel continues to show commitment to the UAE and Dubai, supporting one of the fastest growing economies globally. The new facility brings our customers ease of doing business in Dubai and across the region,” Lee I’Ons, GCC+ Cluster Managing Director at Kuehne+Nagel, said.
Commenting on the development, Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of the Logistics District, Dubai South, said “Kuehne+Nagel’s new facility will be of great added value to the logistics sector. We are committed to reinforcing the company’s expansion and growth, via our advanced services and solutions, and to contribute to Dubai’s position as a global logistics hub.”
Jonathan Emery, CEO, Aldar Development said, “In line with our strategic focus to deliver Grade A facilities for local and international logistics providers, we are delighted to extend our development expertise to create a state-of-the-art fulfilment centre for Kuehne+Nagel at Dubai South, one of the most well-connected logistics hubs in the UAE.”
