GWC, Meydan unite to provide logistics services

Qatar-based Gulf Warehousing Company (GWC) has partnered with the UAE's Meydan Free Zone to provide integrated business setup and logistics services for companies entering the UAE and expanding across the GCC. Under the agreement, businesses setting up in Meydan Free Zone will be able to access services ranging from company incorporation to freight, warehousing and last-mile delivery through a coordinated offering.

The partnership aims to reduce the time and complexity involved in moving from business registration to commercial operations. It combines Meydan Free Zone's business setup services with GWC's logistics network, allowing companies to manage key operational requirements through connected services.

Matthew Kearns, Group CEO, GWC said, “We enable them to bring products to market quickly and seamlessly, and focus on growth, while we manage their entire logistics journey from day one.”

Meydan Free Zone will provide company incorporation, trade licensing, banking support, visa assistance, and tax and compliance services. GWC will handle freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, fulfilment, and last-mile delivery.

The agreement also supports companies looking to expand beyond the UAE into Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.
