GAC opts for QFZA
The Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) and GAC, a provider of shipping, logistics and marine services, have agreed on the establishment of a GAC contract logistics facility and office in the Ras Bufontas Free Zone.
The virtual signing ceremony was attended by Ahmad bin Mohammed Al-Sayed, the minister of state and chairman of QFZA, Björn Engblom, GAC group executive chairman & trustee and Lim Meng Hui, CEO of QFZA.
The purpose-built 27,000 sqm multi-user contract logistics facility, due to be completed in the first quarter of 2022, will serve segments like fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), food & beverage (F&B), fashion, sports, energy, aerospace and healthcare.
It will maintain temperatures ranging from -18°C to +22°C to support cold chain operations and will feature dedicated mezzanine levels for value-added services activities such as component assembly, repacking and labelling to enhance customers’ supply chains.
GAC’s marine and offshore services will be supported by Marsa Port, the marine cluster in Qatar Free Zones. (sh)
