Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has commenced construction of a dedicated automotive logistics hub at Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, strengthening its position in one of the world’s fastest growing supply chain corridors. The 28,000 square metre facility will support automotive spare parts distribution across the GCC, Africa and selected international markets.

The new hub has been designed to handle high volume automotive logistics operations through advanced pallet racking systems, high density storage solutions and specialised zones for oversized components. Industry estimates indicate that the Middle East automotive logistics market is expected to grow at 4% to 6% annually through 2030, driven by rising vehicle ownership, aftermarket demand and regional trade expansion.

Hellmann reported annual revenue of approximately US$4.2 billion and handles around 21 million shipments globally each year. Dubai’s strategic location connecting Asia, Europe and Africa continue to attract major logistics investments. The project highlights growing confidence in the UAE’s role as a global distribution and supply chain powerhouse.
