Dubai South and UPS have signed an agreement in order to open a new facility in Dubai South’s Logistics District.
This launch comes as part of UPS’s strategic expansion in the region. Dubai South is the largest single-urban master development focusing on aviation, logistics, and real estate.
The agreement was signed by Tariq Badri, Director of Business Development and Investor Relations, and Andrew Sleiman, VP Legal, India Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa in the presence of Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of the Logistics District, and Ismet Demirel, VP Transportation, India Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa.
“Our partnership with UPS reflects Dubai South’s commitment to reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global logistics hub. This new facility will enhance UPS’s capabilities, enabling faster and more efficient trade connectivity. We are committed to supporting UPS in its growth ambitions, ensuring it has the necessary resources to meet the rising demand for logistics services across the region. With our strategic location, world-class infrastructure, and seamless multimodal connectivity, Dubai South continues to be the preferred destination for leading logistics providers seeking to expand in the region.”
The facility will improve UPS’s operational capacity in the UAE, strengthening international trade links through its extensive global network. It is scheduled for completion and will be operational before the end of the year.
Ismet Demirel said that, “Dubai’s world-class infrastructure and strategic location at the crossroads of global trade make it a vital hub for UPS’s global network. This investment in new capabilities in the region will allow us to connect businesses across the Middle East to over 200 countries and territories globally – driving efficiency and growth for businesses of all sizes in one of the world’s most dynamic regions.”
