Emirates Logistics is expanding its services into Kenya with the construction of a state-of-the-art facility at Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ), located 30 minutes from Nairobi, that will support the growth of the company’s clients across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Construction is set to begin this year and will join Emirates Logistics’ global network of owned warehousing, offices and transportation fleets spanning 15 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

“We are proud to strengthen our presence in Kenya with our expansion to Tatu City, reinforcing Emirates Logistics’ global footprint of comprehensive logistics capabilities,” said Steven van der Vliet, chief commercial officer, Emirates Logistics. “This new strategic facility is part of our broader commitment to offering world-class infrastructure in key growth markets.

“Being located at the heart of Kenya’s economic engine allows us to deliver flexible, seamless and tailor-made logistics solutions that empower both our existing and new customers to thrive.”

Tatu City is a 5,000-acre new city with homes, schools, offices, a shopping district, medical clinics, nature areas, a sport and entertainment complex and manufacturing area for more than 250,000 residents and tens of thousands of day visitors. Tatu City is Kenya’s first operational Special Economic Zone, providing reduced corporate taxes, zero-rated VAT and import duty exemptions, among other benefits.
