JAFZA and Transworld Group to establish state-of-the-art logistics center

DP World’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) and Transworld Group today announced the signing of an agreement for the construction of a dry, temperature-controlled distribution center of over 50,000 square meters in Jafza.

The facility, which will be developed by Jafza, represents a significant expansion for Transworld that will almost double its capacity in the region while expanding logistics infrastructure in the Free Zone.

Abdullah bin Damithan, CEO and CEO of DP World GCCsaying,

“We are delighted to continue our long-standing relationship with Transworld Group by partnering on this project. This agreement reflects our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers and foster business growth in Jafza, while solidifying our position as a leader in the logistics sector.”

Construction of the warehouse is scheduled to begin in early 2024 and is expected to be completed by 2025, with the expansion coming hot on the heels of Transworld Group opening its new Cold Chain Distribution Center in Jafza earlier this year.

Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan, Chairman of Transworld Group, commented,

“This is a momentous occasion for Transworld Group and a reflection of our faith in DP World, Jafza and the UAE. This mega distribution center will be a milestone for Transworld and will symbolize our growth and expansion over the last five decades. It will also complement our foray into the food processing sector. “We are grateful to Jafza and DP World for facilitating this Transworld venture and look forward to achieving many more milestones through this partnership as we continue to serve our customers.”
