DUBAI: DP World’s Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) and Transworld Group today announced the signing of an agreement for the construction of a 50,000+ square metre, dry and temperature-controlled distribution centre in Jafza.
The facility, which will be developed by Jafza, represents a significant expansion for Transworld that will nearly double its capacity in the region while expanding the logistics infrastructure in the Free Zone.
Abdullah bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC, said, “We are delighted to continue our longstanding relationship with Transworld Group by partnering on this project. This agreement reflects our commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions that cater to the diverse needs of our clients and foster business growth in Jafza, while solidifying our position as a leader in the logistics sector.’

Ramesh S. Ramakrishnan, Chairman of Transworld Group, commented, ‘This is a momentous occasion for Transworld Group and a reflection of our faith in DP World, Jafza and the UAE. This mega distribution centre will be a landmark for Transworld, symbolising our growth and expansion over the last five decades. It will also complement our foray into the food processing sector. We are thankful to Jafza and DP World for facilitating this venture of Transworld and look forward to many more milestones through this partnership as we continue serving our customers.’
