Embraer and Kuehne + Nagel establish distribution centre in Dubai
Kuehne + Nagel has announced the extension of its global partnership with Embraer to include the set-up of a logistics hub for the Middle East and Africa region. The hub will be located in Kuehne + Nagel’s logistics centre in Dubai Logistics City (DLC), offering spare parts logistics for the Embraer commercial aviation fleet.
As Embraer is expanding its customer support services in this high potential region, it has joined forces with Kuehne + Nagel in order to offer its customers a new spare parts distribution centre in Dubai. Located near the new Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC), in the Dubai Logistics City (DLC), the facility supplies spare parts for the expanding Embraer commercial aviation fleet in the Middle East, as well as support for customers in Africa. The spare parts logistics support out of Dubai is a further step in the partnership between the companies.
The storage capacity at Kuehne + Nagel’s warehouse at Dubai Logistics City will be extended and is scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2012.
"We are delighted that Embraer decided to extend the global relationship by entrusting us with their spare parts logistics in the DLC facility," explained Werner Kleymann, Regional Manager of Kuehne + Nagel in the Middle East, Central Asia and Turkey. "This is an important development for our aerospace logistics business in the region," he added.
