Emirates Logistics, an international logistics service provider, has disclosed its intentions to boost its Kenyan operations through the development of a cutting-edge facility within the Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
Steven van der Vliet, Emirates Logistics' Chief Commercial Officer, stated that the new facility will play a crucial role in supporting the company's expansion throughout sub-Saharan Africa by enhancing continental trade in Kenya and the wider East African Region. "We have chosen Tatu City as our location, as it is at the core of Kenya's economic activity and will therefore allow us to deliver customised logistics solutions that help both our existing and new customers succeed." He said.
Construction of the establishment is scheduled to commence this year, adding to the company's global presence in 15 countries and an international network of agents.
The logistics giant maintains its own warehousing offices and transport fleets across 14 countries, namely the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia, with Kenya as its newest addition.
