Airbus opens modern material & logistics centre

Airbus Material and Logistics Centre in the Middle East has been officially opened at the Dubai Airport Free Zone in the United Arab Emirates in a ceremony with his Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, and Tom Enders, Airbus President and CEO.

The opening of the Materials and Logistics Centre gives Airbus greater proximity to valuable customers, and facilitates a quicker and more reactive response to their needs.

It also reduces the time and cost in transporting spares. The efficiency gains and economic benefit of the centre are part and parcel of Airbus' commitment to eco-efficiency, to help the aviation sector prosper by adding value with less environmental impact.

"With predicted passenger traffic growth of over six per cent and cargo of five per cent in the next 20 years, the Middle East will undergo one of the biggest aviation growth rates of anywhere in the world, so a world class logistics centre in the region is essential", said Airbus President and CEO, Tom Enders.

Dubai has one of the world's most modern and fastest-growing airports, serving more than 120 airlines flying to more than 205 destinations worldwide, and hence an ideal location for this type of centre.

The Material and Logistics Centre is located next to Dubai International Airport and covers over 3,700 square metres of storage space and office facilities ensuring optimised logistics and efficiency.

The 24 hour a day centre will stock more than 5,000 different parts with around 43,000 items in at any one time, offering customer support and aircraft spares distribution to regional and worldwide destinations 24 hours a day.

Global freight expected to reach US$14 trillion by 2020

Dubai on course to be amongst the top logistic hubs in the world, say industry experts speaking at the MEED's Gulf Logistics Forum 2008 in Dubai.

Global transportation solutions provider Aramex, chaired a panel discussion to share international and regional transportation experts on the emergence of the region as a logistical hub.

With global freight expected to reach USD 14 trillion by 2020, and the Gulf’s strategic position as a major trade hub between Asia and Europe, the Gulf’s imports and exports are now close to over USD 320 billion. Capturing this business represents an unmissable opportunity for all regional and global logistics companies.

Hussein Hachem, CEO of Aramex GCC speaking at the event highlighted the need for logistic companies to be ready to meet the growing demands of the industry; “This forum gives us a platform to address, discuss and highlight the core fundamentals of the logistic industry, our objective and focus should not be on minimizing cost but rather on improving efficiencies and optimizing cost so as to drive the growth of the industry.” he added.

Aramex remains focused on working through strategic alliances and acquisitions to facilitate the growth of the region as a logistic hub.
 

Logistics of a steel mill : Mallory acts as supplier during Nucor construction

With Nucor Corp. set to start production at its new Memphis facility July 12, Mallory Alexander International Logistics was given the task of distributing and warehousing at times more than 75,000 square feet of material needed for construction of the new steel mill.

The material supported construction of the $300 million Nucor facility that will produce 850,000 tons of steel product a year and employ about 225 people once it is fully operational.

Mallory Alexander, which specializes in global logistics and cotton warehousing with about 2 million square feet of warehouse space, was able to take on the challenge thanks to a prior relationship with Nucor.

"We've had some business relationships in the past moving material in and out of the country, be it products or equipment, as we build steel mills around the country," says Thad Solomon, general manager of the Nucor Memphis facility. "I think it certainly allowed us to have a lot of confidence by knowing what we were getting into and who we were dealing with."
