Details: The 1.37 mn sqft hub will include manufacturing and warehousing for the production of 90k tonnes of milk powder and 10k tonnes of butter annually. The hub will also expand the firm’s production line of whey, milk, and specialty products, including fruit and vegetable-based seasonings.

Why is this important? SLG is looking to boost its export potential by positioning the new facility near Al Maktoum International Airport, Jebel Ali Port, and an Etihad Rail freight terminal. Once operational, the hub will serve markets in the GCC, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

The city — located on two major highways between Emirates Road and Mohammad Bin Zayed Road — aims to support manufacturing and logistics companies in domestic and global markets, according to their website.
