Kuehne+Nagel has celebrated the ground-breaking of a new fulfilment and distribution centre in EZDubai, a dedicated e-commerce zone located in Dubai South, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The facility, which is expected to be fully operational by the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, will be designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Silver requirements. 

The new centre will feature more than 23,000m² of warehousing space, providing customers with a range of value-added services. 

It is being developed by Dubai South and Aldar Properties. 

Dubai South Logistics District CEO Mohsen Ahmad said: “We are pleased to witness the ground-breaking of Kuehne+Nagel’s new facility, which will be of great added value to the logistics sector.” 

Aldar Development CEO Jonathan Emery said: “In line with our strategic focus to deliver Grade A facilities for local and international logistics providers, we are delighted to extend our development expertise to create a state-of-the-art fulfilment centre for Kuehne+Nagel at Dubai South, one of the most well-connected logistics hubs in the UAE.” 

The centre’s location is expected to establish it as a hub for regional trade, offering customers seamless access to a range of logistics solutions. 

Kuehne+Nagel GCC+ Cluster managing director Lee I'Ons 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. 

“The new facility brings our customers ease of doing business in Dubai and across the region.” 

This announcement comes after Kuehne+Nagel announced the opening of its new facility in El Paso, Texas, US. 

This larger site, covering 363,000ft², consolidates four warehouses previously located across the border into one.
