Dior opens new logistics centre in Dubai South

Dior has opened a 7,200-square-metre Regional Distribution Centre at EZDubai Logistics Hub in Dubai South to support its Middle East operations. The two-level facility will manage inventory, order fulfilment and boutique replenishment, while also supporting Dior’s e-commerce activities in the UAE.

The centre places inventory closer to Dior’s regional markets, helping the company respond faster to demand and replenish boutiques more efficiently. For the logistics sector, this supports the use of regional distribution centres to bring stock closer to customers and reduce the time needed for deliveries across markets.

The facility has received LEED Gold certification and includes measures to reduce the environmental impact of logistics operations. These include reducing single-use plastic in packaging, improving transport flows and using sea freight where possible. Dior is also using electric vehicles for last-mile deliveries in the UAE.

The centre has access to Jebel Ali Port through a bonded logistics corridor and is close to Al Maktoum International Airport, supporting air, sea and road cargo movement.

Nabil Alkindi, Group CEO of Dubai South, said: “We are pleased to inaugurate Dior’s new Regional Distribution Centre at Dubai South and welcome another globally renowned brand to our growing logistics ecosystem. The establishment of Dior’s regional distribution centre reflects the confidence international companies continue to place in Dubai as a strategic base for their regional operations. At Dubai South, our mandate is to provide an integrated and efficient environment that enables businesses to optimise their supply chains, enhance connectivity to key markets and support their long-term growth. We look forward to supporting Dior’s operations and ambitions across the Middle East.”
