Al Bayader International is set to significantly expand its operations through the opening of a new Dh15 million logistics facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (South).

Al Bayader is a regional pioneer in the fast-growing disposable products market.

Jafza, the free zone operations arm of Economic Zones World is already host to over 6,000 of companies specialising in trading, shipping, warehousing, transportation and distribution/ packaging and printing products, in addition to 140 of the Fortune Global 500 companies.

"We are delighted that Al Bayader recognises the business benefits of expanding its operations into Jafza," said Ibrahim Al Janahi, senior vice president, commercial sales, Jafza.

"We hope their move into Jafza will both provide them not only a springboard for business growth, and further enhance Dubai's status as an emerging major supplier of packaging and printing products, while also serving as a catalyst in the industrial growth of the country by creating unmatched infrastructural facilities for local, regional and global players,” Al Janahi added.

Al Bayader's new 15,000 sq m, state-of-the-art logistics facility, comprises extensive warehousing, loading and off-loading areas, parking and logistics management centre and forms part of a bigger Dh80 million expansion programme for the company. A soft opening is scheduled for the end of this month.- TradeArabia News Service
