The move reflects a shift from a limited setup to a more integrated presence in the local market, enabling the company to better serve clients across the UAE and the wider GCC region.
As part of this expansion, Rhenus is preparing to open a new office in Abu Dhabi to further strengthen its presence in the Emirates.
The company’s growth strategy, however, is focused on the broader GCC area, including high-potential markets such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
The UAE continues to serve as a strategic logistics hub for trade between Europe, Asia and Africa. Rhenus’ enhanced presence is designed to leverage this position while offering more direct and flexible services to clients operating in and beyond the Emirates.
A new Air-Ocean product offering will further enhance the Rhenus portfolio, connecting the Far East with Europe and the Americas, with the UAE serving as a strategic transshipment point.
Rhenus has been appointed as the official freight forwarder and on-site handling agent for dmg events’ prestigious exhibitions at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre. This strategic partnership covers key trade shows including INDEX Saudi Arabia, ORGATEC – WORKSPACE, and three co-located expos scheduled for September 2025.
