Petrochem Opens AED 300 Million Terminal at Jebel Ali Port
Petrochem Middle East has inaugurated a AED 300 million petrochemical terminal and corporate headquarters at Jebel Ali Port, expanding the company’s logistics capacity and supporting Dubai’s industrial growth strategy under the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
The new facility, Petrochem’s largest to date, consolidates its operational and corporate functions in a purpose-built site designed to support long-term growth. The terminal enhances chemical storage, handling, and distribution capabilities, strengthening supply chains for manufacturing, energy, and industrial sectors across the UAE and international markets.
“This inauguration is more than a new address - it reflects our long-term commitment to Dubai,” said Rohan Mehta, Managing Director of Petrochem. “The facility is designed for the next three decades of growth and innovation, aligning with Dubai’s economic vision and supporting our people, partners, and stakeholders.”
The project, constructed to LEED Gold standards, includes Petrochem’s second UAE terminal and multiple office buildings. It aims to improve operational integration, expand distribution capacity, and enhance supply chain resilience, bolstering Dubai’s position as a global trade hub.
DP World leadership highlighted the terminal’s contribution to industrial development. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, said Petrochem’s expansion reflects confidence in Dubai as a base for long-term industrial growth and strengthens the emirate’s chemical and manufacturing sectors. Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & MD of DP World GCC, noted that consolidating operations and logistics at Jebel Ali allows companies to operate more efficiently across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
Founded in 1995 in Dubai, Petrochem has grown from a single office in Jebel Ali Free Zone into a multinational chemical distributor with operations across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Africa. The new terminal underscores the company’s continued investment in Dubai as a center for industrial and economic growth.
