"Dubai is one of the major hubs. In a time when cutting costs is a crucial part of business, we are able to use Dubai as a hub to dock large shipments which can then be deconsolidated and shipped on in smaller targeted quantities, which is a great way of reducing logistics costs."
Exhibitors at the show also agree that platforms like SITL Dubai are critical in helping expand their customer base, partner network and internal collaboration. Geodis has brought in people from Asia, Europe and across the Middle East for the show.
Brian McHale, CEO of WARED Logistics commented, "The logistics market in GGC & MENA is about to flourish. There is a growing and influential consumer base that will drive this. Many of the exhibitors at the exhibition have secured potential business opportunities, and partnerships from companies both in the GCC region and further afield.
The inaugural SITL Dubai 2010 was opened on Tuesday by His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum. The exhibition is a business to business event that provides leaders in the freight transport and logistics industry, complete access to companies across the whole distribution and supply chain as well as a high quality conference program.
