Purpose-built complex spanning 400,000sqft. houses corporate offices, distribution centre, and industrial bakery
Dubai Industrial Park, one of the largest industrial hubs in the region and a member of TECOM Group, recently hosted a reception to mark the opening of the new corporate headquarters of the UAE-based Al Madina Group.
The new 400,000sqft. complex, which also houses Al Madina Distribution Centre that services the whole of the UAE, and its industrial manufacturer of bakery and ready-to-eat products Oasis Cuisines, commenced operations following the ceremony.
The inauguration was attended by Abdulla Belhoul, Chief Commercial Officer, TECOM Group; Saud Abu Al-Shawareb, Managing Director, Dubai Industrial Park and Abdulla Poyil, Managing Director, Al Madina Group, along with senior officials and other invitees.
The 400,000sqft. complex with an investment of over AED 200mn (US$ 54.5mn) was purpose built on a 700,000sqft. plot of land in Dubai Industrial Park, and is strategically situated close to Maktoum Airport, Jebel Ali Port and the Expo 2020 Dubai site.
From within the same complex, Al Madina Distribution Centre will supply all the Group’s FMCG products to over 100 branches of Al Madina Hypermarket in the UAE. Oasis Cuisines, one of the largest industrial bakeries in the UAE, will distribute its fresh goods all over the UAE from its new location.
The industrial bakery, which is engaged in the manufacturing of bakery, confectionery, sandwiches, hot meals and more than 250 ready to eat products, is best known for its brands BreadKing, Royal Breads and Fresh from Dubai.
Al Madina Group, operating in the UAE since 1971, will be running its diverse portfolio of businesses, which include Al Madina Hypermarket, Oasis Cuisines, Clikon Electronics & Home Appliances, community shopping centres and several other subsidiaries from its new headquarters in Dubai Industrial Park.
“We are pleased to welcome Al Madina Group to Dubai Industrial Park. We are committed to meeting the evolving needs of manufacturers and other complementary business operators through our advanced infrastructure; integrated solutions that cater to a business’s corporate, industrial and logistical needs,” noted Saud Abu Al-Shawareb.
“Consolidating all our group’s operations in one central location will be key to enhance efficiency even further, and is an important step in our extensive international expansion plans,” observed Abdulla Poyil.
Al Madina Group is currently building five malls, including a mall at Muwaileh in Sharjah, in addition to seven new hypermarkets and other new ventures. This pioneering Group has introduced several locally developed brands across the wider GCC region.
