Dubai: Maersk has opened its first cold store in Dubai. Consumers are increasingly demanding more choices for frozen and refrigerated food products in supermarkets with extended shelf life and an optimum level of product quality, making cold chain logistics more important than ever before, says Maersk.
‘With the 12,500-pallet position space at the new cold store, Maersk is aiming to make inroads into the large and growing demand for frozen, chilled, and ambient storage in the UAE.”
“Our new cold store is helping us safeguard the integrity of perishables and offer them to end users through uninterrupted cold chain solutions.”
Maersk will offer fulfilment operations, e-commerce services to retailers/distributors and FMCG brands, value-added services such as co-packing, labelling, and repacking, cross-docking and last-mile delivery to retail outlets.
The site will be equipped with an advanced warehouse management system that will allow customers to have clear visibility at purchase order (PO) or SKU level. The site is its third warehouse in Dubai.
