en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and INDU Group have launched a new automotive logistics hub project in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza). The project aims to strengthen Jafza's position as a regional and global trade gateway.

The facility will enhance the speed and efficiency of spare parts distribution to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Africa, and other regions. As market demand for resilient automotive supply chains continues to grow, this hub will play a key role in meeting these needs.

Inside the hub, it will be equipped with a high-density bin storage system, pallet racking, and dedicated work areas for handling oversized and bulky components. The total gross floor area of the site is nearly 300,000 square feet, providing scalable infrastructure to support efficient, high-volume distribution operations.

Lee I’Ons, CEO of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics for the IMEA region, stated that the UAE is a strategically important market in its global network. By establishing this dedicated automotive hub in Jafza, the company is systematically expanding its regional capabilities and building more scalable, industry-focused infrastructure. This enables it to offer clients competitive, high-performance logistics solutions that support their long-term growth.

Abdulla Al Hashmi, Global Chief Operating Officer of Parks and Economic Zones at DP World, added that Hellmann's investment in Jafza reflects the rapid growth pace of the Middle East's automotive industry, where customers require faster and more reliable access to critical spare parts across multiple markets.

The facility, developed by INDU Logistics, a subsidiary of INDU Group, will serve as a dedicated automotive hub within Hellmann's Middle East network. Jafza itself boasts an ecosystem of automotive, logistics, and trading companies, with direct access to Jebel Ali Port and a multimodal transport network.

As supply chains become more complex and time-sensitive, this project reflects the growing demand for specialized automotive logistics infrastructure. Jafza continues to play a key role in facilitating efficient trade flows between Europe, Asia, and Africa through its integrated infrastructure and multimodal connectivity.
