This new company will be listed on the UAE stock exchange in two years.
The agreement was signed by Mr. Thafer Al Ahbabi, General Manager of Al Bateen Investment, Mr. Saeed Bin Jabr Al Suwaidi, President of Bin Jabr Group and Mr. Khaled Mohammad Al Mutawa, General Manager - Oil and Government, of PWC Logistics.
Mr. Al Mutawa commented, "The creation of PWC Logistics UAE which will begin operating in April 2005, goes hand-in-hand with PWC's regional and global expansion strategy by providing investment opportunities within the governmental sector and privatization projects in the United Arab Emirates. Additionally, this joint venture will increase PWC's activities in the freight forwarding, transportation and logistics services, areas in which PWC excels.
This joint venture will both strengthen cooperation across the GCC and stimulate investment and job growth in the UAE. The implementation of advanced logistics techniques throughout the operation will both boost productivity and reduce logistics costs.
