Opens new office in Dubai
AIT Worldwide Logistics announced its expansion to the Middle East with a new office in Dubai.
Ideally situated as a central consolidation and distribution point for the Eastern Hemisphere, AIT-Dubai serves shippers whose supply chains utilize the increasingly popular multimodal location to transload freight from air to ocean or vice versa.
According to AIT’s Vice President of India and Middle East, Vikram Paul, the new Dubai office enables consolidation of regional operations within the company’s global transportation management system.
“Dubai’s location is unrivaled as a crossroads for global trade, and we are delighted to expand AIT’s footprint with this robust addition to the worldwide network,” he added.
In addition to managing a broad variety of general air and ocean freight, AIT-Dubai provides special services expertise for technology companies shipping sensitive cargo, such as data racks and other high-tech components. The new office also serves the UAE’s booming automotive sector, including shipments of electric vehicle components, a press statement added.
As AIT’s presence in the Middle East continues to expand, the company will leverage its global expertise in the government and aerospace fields by ramping up special services for those industries in Dubai.
Likewise, professionals from AIT’s Life Sciences Division plan to expand global operations in partnership with the Dubai office by staging critical temperature-controlled shipments at cold storage facilities in the Middle East for delivery to destinations in Africa.
