Kuehne+Nagel Breaks Ground for New e-Commerce Fulfilment Centre in Dubai

With a groundbreaking ceremony, Kuehne+Nagel marked the construction of a new fulfilment and distribution centre in EZDubai, a dedicated e-commerce zone in Dubai South.

EZDubai is closely located to Al Maktoum International Airport and connected to Jebel Ali Port via a bonded logistics corridor. 

The location and connectivity of the new centre will function as a hub for trade across the region, giving customers easy access to a variety of logistics solutions.

They can benefit from the exemption of customs clearance procedures within the bonded logistics corridors ensuring the efficiency and reliability of their operations. 

Lee I'Ons, GCC+ Cluster Managing Director at Kuehne+Nagel said: “With the development of this new e-commerce fulfilment centre, Kuehne+Nagel continues to show commitment to the UAE and Dubai, supporting one of the fastest growing economies globally.
