Emirates Logistics Launches Kenya Operations with New Hub at Tatu City SEZ
Emirates Logistics has unveiled plans to expand into Kenya with the development of a new logistics facility at Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a fast-growing industrial and commercial hub near Nairobi.
“We are proud to strengthen our presence in Kenya with our expansion to Tatu City, reinforcing Emirates Logistics’ global footprint of comprehensive logistics capabilities,” said Steven van der Vliet, Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates Logistics. “This new strategic facility is part of our broader commitment to offering world-class infrastructure in key growth markets. Being located at the heart of Kenya’s economic engine allows us to deliver flexible, seamless, and tailor-made logistics solutions that empower both our existing and new customers to thrive.”
The construction of the new logistics facility at Tatu City SEZ, expected to begin later this year, reflects the company’s long-term vision for sustainable operations in Kenya and underscores its strategic focus on high-growth markets and its mission to enhance supply chain efficiency across the African continent.
The company has established a strong footprint across key global regions. Its integrated logistics infrastructure includes company-owned warehouses, transport fleets, and offices in countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Ivory Coast, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia.
This expansive network enables Emirates Logistics to deliver agile, end-to-end logistics solutions, positioning it as a preferred partner for businesses navigating the complex supply chains of the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
“Tatu City warmly welcomes Emirates Logistics to its new home in Kenya, where it will thrive in a conducive business environment,” said George Kapanadze, Group CFO at Rendeavour, the owner and developer of Tatu City SEZ. “As a mixed-use Special Economic Zone, we specialize in attracting foreign direct investment to Kenya in an infrastructure-ready location that offers the services and amenities global investors like Emirates Logistics demand, including housing, retail, schools, parks, and recreation.”
According to Hapa Kenta, companies establishing operations within the Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ) enjoy a variety of incentives, including a reduced corporate tax rate of 10% for the first 10 years, followed by a 15% rate for the subsequent 10 years.
