Third-party logistics provider CEVA has opened a new 23,000m2 (c. 247,000ft2) warehouse in Dubai.
Located in the Dubai South Free Zone, the facility is targeted at e-commerce customers.
According to CEVA, local teams completed the warehouse layout and operational setup in a matter of weeks, following high customer demand.
The warehouse has a 20m ceiling height and is built to prioritise a low carbon footprint. It features LED lighting throughout the entire facility, cardboard and plastic recycling stations and 1,600 m2 of solar panels.
By mid January the site was already handling 30,000 units per day.
“What we achieved in Dubai South is nothing short of extraordinary. Our determination, creativity and customer-first mindset turned what seemed like an impossible task into reality,” commented Antonio Munoz, vice president of contract logistics, IMEA, CEVA Logistics.
Dubai South’s Logistics District is located near Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Port. The area is a rapidly emerging logistics hub for the UAE and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
