Rhenus, one of the world’s leading logistics service providers, has strengthened its presence in the Middle East with the opening of a new office in Abu Dhabi. This strategic expansion supports the Group’s long-term growth strategy in the region and further enhances its capability to serve critical industries across the United Arab Emirates.
Situated adjacent to Abu Dhabi International Airport, the new location positions Rhenus in immediate proximity to major aviation and industrial customers. The office operates as an ADAFZ free zone entity within Abu Dhabi Business Park 01, which ensures seamless access and faster operational response.
The Abu Dhabi office targets key verticals central to the UAE’s economic environment, including Oil & Gas, Industrial and Aeroparts. Rhenus will offer a comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end logistics services, including air, ocean and overland freight as well as customs brokerage and warehousing.
Functioning as a branch office of Rhenus in Dubai, the new site strengthens the Group’s regional network and supports increased service agility and reach across the United Arab Emirates.
Recent Rhenus Developments in the United Arab Emirates
The opening of the Abu Dhabi office follows a series of recent strategic developments by Rhenus in the UAE. In 2025, the company announced an expanded operational model in the Emirates to strengthen service delivery across the Gulf region, with an enhanced focus on sectors such as fast-moving consumer goods, fashion, aerospace and high‑tech. Rhenus also introduced a new Air‑Ocean product connecting Asia, Europe and the Americas, with the UAE serving as a key transshipment hub for global freight flows.
Additionally, Rhenus has secured significant event logistics partnerships in the region. The company was appointed Exclusive Official Logistics and Freight‑Forwarding Partner for INDEX exhibitions in 2026 and 2027, reinforcing its capabilities in supporting large‑scale events across major UAE venues.
These developments highlight Rhenus’ long-term commitment to strengthening its footprint in the Emirates and delivering high‑quality, sector‑focused logistics solutions.
“The opening of our Abu Dhabi office marks an important milestone in our MEA strategy,” said Ameen Sainudeen, Branch Manager for the Rhenus Logistics office in Abu Dhabi. “Our proximity to the airport gives us a strategic advantage, enabling us to support some of the region’s most dynamic sectors with enhanced efficiency and reliability. We are committed to delivering tailored logistics solutions that help our customers grow and succeed.”
Hassan Alzeer, Managing Director at Rhenus Logistics UAE, added: “Expanding into Abu Dhabi reinforces our commitment to the UAE market and strengthens our ability to deliver high-quality end‑to‑end supply chain solutions. This new location enhances our regional footprint and positions us closer to key industries that rely on trusted logistics partners to support their operations.”
With this expansion, Rhenus continues to grow its global network of more than 1,330 locations in over 70 countries, delivering innovative logistics solutions supported by local expertise in major growth markets.
