AIT Worldwide Logistics Expands to the Middle East with New Office in Dubai
AIT Worldwide
Logistics proudly announces its expansion to the Middle East with a new office
in Dubai, the most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. The new location
is an investment to fulfill the evolving shipping needs for key customers,
while also enhancing the global freight forwarder’s supply chain solutions in
the region.
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. The UAE is a top-three trading partner with India,
and much of the cargo passing through is bound for gateway cities such as
Chicago, Frankfurt and Hong Kong.
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.
“As a result, we are increasing overall transparency for our
customers with business in and/or passing through the Middle East,” said Paul.
“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.”
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.
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.
