Lee I’Ons, GCC+ cluster managing director at Kuehne + Nagel, said: “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.”

Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of the Logistics District in Dubai South, added: “We are pleased to witness the groundbreaking of Kuehne + Nagel’s new facility, which 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.”

In May, the company opened a new facility in the US state of Texas to support the growing demand for logistics services at the U.S./Mexico border. In March, it opened a new fulfilment centre in New Jersey, also in the US, aimed at serving the fashion and luxury markets.
