The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has announced that Amazon has opened its first fulfillment centre in Abu Dhabi.
The new facility, located in Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD), reportedly incorporates Amazon’s latest automation technology, enabling same-day deliveries for a broad range of products.
ADIO stated that the facility is designed to strengthen the emirate’s logistics capabilities, support small and medium-sized enterprises and deliver faster services for customers across the UAE.
Amazon intends to integrate the centre with Abu Dhabi Customs’ trade facilitation processes to further enhance efficiency.
Director general of ADIO, His Excellency Badr Al-Olama, said: “The launch of Amazon’s first Fulfilment Centre in Abu Dhabi marks a significant milestone in our strategic partnership.
“Through ADIO’s collaboration with Amazon, we are not only creating opportunities for small- and medium-sized enterprises, we are also strengthening the advanced logistics and digital commerce ecosystem in Abu Dhabi.”
