Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi – Kezad Group and the UAE-based Pharmatrade have opened Pharmatrade’s Abu Dhabi Logistics Centre, which will ensure uninterrupted medical supplies to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
The new logistics centre will ramp up the storage and distribution of its Pharmaceutical and Medical Device range of products to serve the UAE’s healthcare sector.
The expansion of its business over the last 13 years, since the opening of its Logistics Centre in Dubai Investment Park 1, prompted Pharmatrade, one of the largest companies in the healthcare sector, to invest in a new logistics centre in Kezad.
Kezad Logistics Park Phase 5
Kezad Logistics Park Phase 5 which houses Pharmatrade’s Logistics Centre is a cluster of temperature-controlled, Grade A industrial warehouse facilities with modern specifications that offer several different configurations to meet client needs and boost logistics efficiency.
Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi - Kezad Group, said: “Pharmatrade is a well-known and trusted brand in the supply and distribution of lifesaving pharmaceuticals and medical equipment. Their expansion into Kezad’s warehousing portfolio gives them the ability to reach their consumers using our state-of-the-art infrastructure.”
“Efficient and congestion-free access to Khalifa Port and Abu Dhabi International Airport allows companies within our Pharmaceutical ecosystem to cost-effectively source their raw materials and supplies from international markets.”
Wide geographical coverage
Konstantinos Petridis, Managing Partner - Pharmatrade LLC, said: “Through our Kezad Logistics Centre we will be fully covering the supply of pharmaceutical and medical device products to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, for both government and private sector. We consider it our prime responsibility to provide our principals wide geographical coverage, rapid delivery, sufficient company stock, and competitive credit policy.”
“We established this logistics centre in Kezad because of the advantages that bring us closer to achieving our goals. The integrated infrastructure and services at competitive prices, as well as the flexibility of warehouse design enhances our aspirations for further expansion, with the opportunities to reach new customers thanks to Kezad’s strategic location and integrated transportation and logistics network.”
