GAC begins work on new contract logistics facility in Ras Bufontas Free Zone

Construction is underway on GAC Qatar’s new 27,000m² multi-user contract logistics facility after the groundbreaking ceremony in the Ras Bufontas Free Zone.

It follows the signing of an agreement between GAC and Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) in February this year. The facility is expected to be completed by early 2022. It will be built from sustainable materials, partly fueled by solar power, have several energy-saving features, and use recycled water in its operations.

Anders Bengtcén, Swedish Ambassador to the State of Qatar who attended the ceremony welcomed GAC’s important investment in the Qatar Free Zones, saying it reflected the confidence that Swedish enterprises have in the development of Qatar as a logistical and entrepreneurial hub.

Lim Meng Hui, the Chief Executive Officer of QFZA said: “It is our pleasure to be part of the groundbreaking ceremony for GAC logistics facility in Ras Bufontas Free Zone, which will be a showcase of sustainable building development. This facility will contribute towards Qatar as a regional logistics hub and good ecosystem for our investors to run their operations sustainably out of the free zones.”
