The partnership will serve more than 80 NMC locations across the UAE
AKI Logistics, a company of Al Khayyat Investments (AKI), has signed a strategic three-year agreement with NMC Group Services Ltd, one of the UAE’s leading healthcare service providers, to deliver a comprehensive warehousing and logistics solution that will support NMC’s network of medical facilities providing high-quality, personalized care to patients across the UAE.
The services will be operated through AKI Logistics and will reinforce NMC’s healthcare operations from a dedicated facility in Dubai Investments Park. Under the agreement, AKI will manage end-to-end logistics for NMC’s healthcare solutions including pharmaceuticals and medical consumables.
The partnership will enable seamless delivery to more than 80 NMC locations nationwide, including in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Al Ain.
Strengthening resilience
“By partnering with NMC in particular, we are proud to be strengthening the resilience and scalability of the UAE’s healthcare supply chain,” remarked Samer Sabri, Chief Supply Chain Officer, AKI.
“Through this collaboration, NMC’s logistics operations will benefit from faster replenishment cycles, greater flexibility in delivery models and improved stock availability, all of which will improve our ability to deliver seamless patient care,” added Stefan Sickel, Chief Supply Chain Officer, NMC.
Last year, AKI unveiled its next-generation Fulfilment and Innovation Centre in Dubai. The one-million-square-foot facility has quadrupled the company’s fulfilment capacity in the UAE to over 1.5mn units per day, while incorporating provisions for future expansion by an additional 200,000sqft. The facility already services more than 30,000 business customers.
