Gulftainer and United Al Saqer to Develop 100,000 Sq. Metre Automotive Logistics Park in Al Dhaid, UAE

Al Dhaid, Sharjah, UAE | 12 November 2026

UAE-based logistics operator Gulftainer has signed an investment agreement with United Al Saqer Heavy Equipment to establish a 100,000-square-metre automotive logistics park within the Khorfakkan Al Dhaid Free Economic Zone (KAFEZ), Sharjah.

The proposed development will feature vehicle storage and handling areas, heavy-vehicle service bays, a central spare-parts warehouse and integrated automotive distribution infrastructure.

The partners also plan to establish a major truck maintenance workshop in Al Dhaid, supporting fleet servicing, repairs and driver facilities.

The investment accompanies Gulftainer's agreement to acquire 1,000 trucks, including 450 units scheduled for delivery by November 2026 and the remaining vehicles in the first quarter of 2027.

The automotive park will strengthen logistics connectivity between Khorfakkan Port, mainland UAE and GCC markets.

The project creates opportunities for warehouse construction, industrial building contractors, material-handling systems, workshop equipment and logistics infrastructure providers.

The investment value, construction commencement date and commissioning schedule have not been disclosed.
