Mohebi Logistics boosts capacity
New Mohebi WarehouseMohebi Logistics is due to open its second warehouse on its current Jebel Ali Freezone site in February 2012, adding a further 45,000 pallets to the existing 33,000 pallet positions.

This leap in capacity – an increase of over 135% - will give the company greater scope in undertaking regional distribution and is part of its continued expansion plans. It also enhances Mohebi Logistics' dominant position as a FMCG supply chain provider within Arab markets.

The new ultra-modern facility covers 30,000 square meters at an investment of AED 110 million. It includes all the necessary infrastructure – freezers, chillers and temperature-controlled rooms - to keep delicate food and non-food products in prime condition.

This is just the start, says CEO Mohammed Mohebi: "We're in advanced negotiations with Dubai authorities to take over 140,000 square meters of land for development in the new Dubai Logistics City project. We're also looking beyond the GCC to India, where logistics issues are now taking on a much higher priority."

Nestlé looks to Mohebi Logistics for its Abu Dhabi and Al Ain operations
Nestle CEO v2As part of Nestlé's Middle East development plans, Mohebi Logistics has been awarded the contract to expand its existing Nestlé supply base to include Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. In addition to the existing Dubai and Northern Emirates operations, Mohebi Logistics is now handling and storing products for over 250 additional outlets for Nestlé in the capital and Al Ain.

The transition has been relatively seamless as Mohebi Logistics has drawn upon its four years of supply chain management with the company and in-depth knowledge of Nestlé operational and technical procedures and standards.

Mohebi Logistics moves into fresh fruit and vegetables with ADNH Compass
In 2009 Mohebi Logistics established an entirely new supply chain solution for ADNH Compass' 200+ customer base. This involved developing a centralised purchasing and logistic hub at its facility in Jafza for all ADNH frozen, dry food and packaging products.

This successful partnership has now led to ADNH Compass awarding Mohebi Logistics the contract to supply all of its customer units with fresh fruit and vegetables. A new facility has been opened with special characteristics for handling these sensitive food products.
