Jafza Breaks Ground on Specialized Automotive Logistics Hub
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and INDU Group have broken ground on a new 300,000-square-foot automotive logistics facility within the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The development aims to address rising regional demand for resilient automotive supply chains and to accelerate spare parts distribution across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Africa.
The specialized facility, developed by INDU Logistics, will integrate high-density bin storage, pallet racking, and dedicated areas for oversized components. Operating as a dedicated hub within Hellmann’s Middle East network, the infrastructure is designed to accommodate high-volume trade flows between Europe, Asia, and Africa.
According to Lee I’Ons, Regional CEO IMEA for Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, the investment systematically expands the company's regional capabilities in the United Arab Emirates, which remains a strategically important market for its global network.
Abdulla Al Hashmi, Global Chief Operating Officer of Parks and Economic Zones at DP World, noted that the expansion reflects rapid growth in the Middle Eastern automotive sector, where market demands increasingly require faster, more reliable access to critical inventory. Jafza continues to leverage its proximity to Jebel Ali Port and multimodal connectivity to anchor high-value supply chains in the region.
