Facility will provide 19,000sqm of space with option to expand to 30,000sqm
Jaguar Land Rover will begin construction of a new Parts Distribution Centre during the first quarter of 2020 to serve its discerning customers across the Middle East and North Africa.
It is scheduled to be operational during the first quarter of 2021. This demand is driven by an increase in the number of cars joining the region’s roads. The new distribution centre will be located at Dubai’s Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA).
Jaguar Land Rover has operated a regional aftermarket Parts Distribution Centre in Jebel Ali, Dubai, since 2014, serving nine MENA markets with genuine components, but needed to expand its operations.
The development will provide 19,000sqm of storage capacity, with the option to expand to 30,000sqm in the future. The added space will allow Jaguar Land Rover to hold and distribute approximately 32,000 part numbers, including branded merchandise from the luxury marque.
Responsible for all inbound, warehousing, scheduling, and distribution tasks, the new facility will streamline the flow of parts to retail partners across the region, enhancing customer service.
“This is a key element of our regional expansion plans as we recognise the importance of offering first-class aftersales service, an essential ingredient of which is rapid parts supply,” said Bruce Robertson, Managing Director Jaguar Land Rover MENA.
“The entire range of Jaguar Land Rover parts and accessories is available through our distributors in nine regional markets, and supplying them all is a big operation,” remarked Paul Lane, Customer Service Director, Jaguar Land Rover MENA.
