CEVA Logistics has opened an advanced 12,000 square meter warehouse in Dubai.

The new warehouse is built with latest technology and has a pyramidal structure to embody CEVA’s distinct brand. The Pyramid is located in the JAFZA South Zone, an area that plays a central role in the company's development strategy to improve its regional presence by creating a network of local warehouses. The Pyramid will act as a central hub for all regional clients and will be used for CEVA’s Middle East headquarters.

The implementation of CEVA Lean principles in the warehouse’s operations will improve processes by minimizing waste and increasing the quality and service provided. The Pyramid has 13 loading bays and will manage products for four key regional customers working in the electronics, fashion and industrial sectors.

Pat McGillycuddy, COO, Economic Zones World, whose group company, Gazeley, designed and built the warehouse, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with CEVA to deliver their latest warehouse in Jafza. We are proud to help facilitate their regional expansion.”

Shamsudeen Ahmed, Regional Director, CEVA in the Middle East, said: “We are rapidly expanding our presence in Dubai. We anticipate that our Jafza facilities will grow by a further 65,000 square meters in the next 12 months, taking our total space in the zone to approximately 110,000 square meters.”

Gianfranco Sgro, President, CEVA, South Europe, Middle East and Africa, also explained the regional development strategy: “In the Middle East, we are focusing on serving customers in the oil and gas, industrial, automotive and tyres, retail and fashion, technology and hospitality sectors. Thanks to our global experience and technologically advanced services, we can offer a range of smart and customized solutions to meet sectors’ individual needs.”
