UAE's Mohebi to build base in Dubai Logistics City

Mohebi Logistics, a distributor of many global brands throughout the Middle East plans to invest up to Dh350 million to build its new headquarters and logistics facility in Dubai Logistics City (DLC) at Dubai World Central, a statement said.

The lease agreement for the 1.5 million square feet plot was signed by HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman, Dubai Aviation City Corporation and Mohammed Mohebi, Mohebi Logistics CEO.

The Emirati company now joins the ranks of Aramex, Kuehne + Nagel, Panalpina, Hellmann Caliper, INL, RSA Logistics and other major industry players that are taking full advantage of Dubai World Central’s infrastructure, multi-modal transport accessibility, dedicated services and facilities.

Mohammed Mohebi, Mohebi Logistics CEO, said in the statement, “We are proud and excited at the prospect of becoming a strategic partner of Dubai World Central and key contributor to Dubai’s continued economic growth. It is important that Emirati talent and know-how offered by home-grown companies are developed to support our leadership’s vision of creating a knowledge-based economy. Dubai World Central will play a critical role in showcasing both Emirati talent and corporate capabilities, which in my opinion is key in serving our national interests.”

Mohebi Logistics, which is part of the Zainal Mohebi Group, will build its state-of-the-art corporate headquarters and facilities comprising approximately 110,000 pallet positions, expanding the company’s storage and logistics facilities and almost doubling its capacity to serve its regional and global clientele. The headquarters and temperature-controlled warehousing facilities will be constructed in two phases.

The construction of a new logistics base in DLC is part of Dh1 billion in investments that Mohebi Investments earmarked to establish itself as a major regional player.

Zainal Mohebi Group plans to consolidate its FMCG operations in a single location at Dubai World Central.
