As part of our expansion plans, Pharmatrade is to build a state-of-the-art Office and Warehousing and Distribution facility at the Dubai Investment Park (DIP) to address the needs of the booming Healthcare industry in the region. The project is expected to be completed by 2009 end.

The facility will provide a state-of-the-art warehousing unit with a storage capacity of 110,000 sq.ft. that makes a total storage capacity in UAE to 136,000 sq.ft. including the other warehouses in the region. The distribution coverage for the UAE will take place from this central location which will act as a feeder to our network of warehouses located in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah.

Strategically located in close proximity to the new Jebel Ali International airport and cargo terminal coming up in the ‘new Dubai’ region, this new facility will leverage the high demand of Pharmatrade’s comprehensive range of product offerings in the region, and will also ease the shipment of medical supplies from our Principals. The new facility will have high-speed IP-VPN leased line connectivity integrating the headquarters with our branch offices.  

Pharmatrade’s multi-temperature warehousing unit will be the most efficient distribution facility in the industry, which will have the full capacity to store Medical and Pharmaceutical supplies in temperature-controlled units of prescribed standards ensuring quality in product deliveries to end-customers.

Logistics plays a pivotal role in achieving a cost-effective and service-efficient supply chain. To expand its current distribution services and reduce operating costs, Pharmatrade plans to increase the workforce in areas of customer service and logistical support. The use of advanced technologies for logistics management will enable us to increase the opportunity to fully exploit international trade, and to gain a competitive edge. Once operational, the new facility is to serve as the most efficient Distribution facility for the UAE Healthcare industry.
