The Bahrain office will focus on serving the automotive, oil & gas, fashion & lifestyle and electronics & technology verticals with air, ocean and road freight, customs clearance and warehousing services.

The Dubai bonded facility, located three kilometres from the Dubai Al Maktoum International Airport and 20 minutes from the Jebel Ali Port, has a total area of 70,000 sq ft. It offers solutions to electronics & technology customers and e-commerce fulfilment services and commenced operation in December 2019.
