Spanning 7,200sqm across two levels, the facility has been established to support Dior’s operations across the Middle East. It manages inventory, order fulfilment and boutique replenishment, while also supporting the group’s growing e-commerce activities in the UAE.
“The establishment of Dior’s regional distribution centre reflects the confidence international companies continue to place in Dubai as a strategic base for their regional operations,” stated Alkindi.
