Jingdong opens major warehouse in JAFZA
The new facility aims to set ‘in time’ delivery standards exceeding 99.9%
Supply chain management firm JD.com – also known as Jingdong – has announced the opening of its new warehouse in Dubai. Located at Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), the warehouse has a floor area of more than 10,000sqm.
The firm says it provides world-class procurement and down-the-line supply services in sectors as diverse as construction and electronics. The facility represents the company’s first asset investment in the country, made through its infrastructure investment and management platform, Jingdong Property, and is operated by Jingdong Logistics.
The new launch comes as part of JD.com’s strategy to build its logistics business across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, thereby enhancing inter-market movement and operational synergy. The warehouse, which will provide storage for nearly one million items for a major electronics manufacturer, aims to achieve an outbound ‘in-time’ rate exceeding 99.9%.
Jingdong Logistics’ supply chain service, JoyLogistics, supports a tailored approach that improves space utilisation and inventory control, while helping customers to manage seasonal fluctuations and category-specific complexities more effectively, the firm said.
JoyLogistics offers end-to-end logistics services, integrating international freight (sea, air, express) with last-mile delivery and bonded warehousing, supporting B2B and B2C operations in the Middle East.
Feng Guo, General Manager of Middle East, JD.com said, “The investment marks a strategic milestone in our long-term investment and growth in the Middle East, enhancing the existing operational footprint to support greater regional scalability and trade. We are investing not just in physical infrastructure, but in the long-term digital transformation of the region’s logistics landscape, empowering cross-border trade and supply chain transformation.”
