Lagardère selects GAC Dubai as contract logistics partner
Lagardère Travel Retail has appointed GAC Dubai’s contract logistics team to handle goods sold at duty free retail stores at airports in Saudi Arabia and the future Abu Dhabi midfield terminal complex.
Under a multi-year agreement with effect from 1 March 2019, GAC Dubai will take care of the port haulage, receipt, storage, pick/pack, transportation, customs clearance and federal tax authority documentation for chocolates, fine foods, fashion, beverages, electronics, cigarettes and cigars, personal care, perfumery and make-up.
Part of GAC Dubai’s contract logistics facility at Dubai South will be dedicated exclusively to the account, and a G + 5 interlock mezzanine deck with multiple aisles and shelves is being constructed for better product segregation and picking. Approximately 3.5 million picked units of goods are expected to be handled by GAC Dubai every year under the contract. (mw)
