GAC Dubai sets up co-packing facility in Jebel Ali free zone
GAC Dubai's contract logistics arm has opened a new dedicated co-packing facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) in a bid to increase the current throughput of 7.5 million unit customisations to 11 million per month by mid-2017.
The ground plus two-floor mezzanine adds 800 square metres to the co-packing area, making 1,800 square metres of space available for printing, labelling, kitting and product assembly services. The facility also includes two new temperature-controlled cleanrooms.
"The new facility allows the customisation requirements of our clients to be handled even more efficiently, and the extra capacity enables us to deliver more services and expand the important value addition sector of the contract logistics business," said GAC Dubai general manager Neil McMaster.
Said GAC Dubai managing director Stuart Bowie: "In the last 18 months we have invested in a dedicated warehouse for a long-term customer, The One, refurbished 24,000 pallets to a European food grade standard.
"We are in the final stages of contractor selection to build a new 72,900 pallet facility at Dubai World Central," said Mr Bowie.
