CEVA Logistics announced the recent opening of a new warehouse in Dubai South Free Zone, a rapidly emerging logistics hub for the UAE and the wider Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. The facility will play a pivotal role in supporting CEVA’s customers with efficient, scalable logistics solutions.

Targeted at eCommerce customers, the new multi-user contract logistics facility spans 23,000 square meters with 20-meter-high ceilings. The facility prioritizes a reduced carbon footprint, including LED lighting throughout the entire facility, cardboard and plastic recycling stations and 1,600 m2 of solar panels.

Due to high customer demand, local CEVA teams rapidly implemented the warehouse layout and operational set up in a matter of weeks with the site already handling more than 30,000 units per day. The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry forecasted eCommerce to generate $8 billion in sales in 2025.

Antonio Munoz, vice president of contract logistics, IMEA, CEVA Logistics, said: "What we achieved in Dubai South is nothing short of extraordinary. Our determination, creativity and customer-first mindset turned what seemed like an impossible task into reality. This warehouse is a testament to CEVA’s ability to adapt, innovate and deliver responsive logistics for our customers, no matter the circumstances."
