Dubai Industrial City (DI) has tied up with Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN) to run its logistics centre.
Chief executive officer Rashid Al Ansari said logistics facilities within the zone will cover an area of 22 million square feet and provide 10 million square feet of warehousing space.
Of this 70,000 square feet will be used by transPARK, the distribution centre to be operated by DPWN.
"It will be a one-stop shop for the logistics needs of our clients," Al Ansari told reporters.
DI had announced recently that it would spend Dh2.2 billion on building warehousing facilities for use by companies setting up factories within the zone.
TransPARK will focus on providing services like storage, freight forwarding, express delivery and logistics consultancy.
Movement of freight will be the biggest business activity at transPARK, said David Christmas, special projects director of Exel, a unit of DPWN.
Al Ansari said 250 companies have signed land lease contracts within the new industrial zone, which seeks to focus on light and medium manufacturing units.
DI aims to have 500 manufacturing units by 2010, giving a boost to the emirate's ambitions to create a sizable industrial sector.
Being developed by Dubai Holding unit Tatweer, the whole project covers an area of 560 million square feet.
It has zones allocated to the production of minerals, chemicals, transport equipment and food and beverages.
The zone will cover an area of 22 million square feet and provide 10 million square feet of warehousing space. |
