Iron Mountain and Unilever establish first strategic Warehousing and Logistics partnership in the UAE

Dubai, UAE, 9 November 2026 – Iron Mountain, a global leader in information management services including warehousing and logistics solutions, and Unilever have marked a significant milestone in their relationship with the opening of Iron Mountain's first warehousing and logistics facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The 37,000 square-metre facility, located in the EZDubai Logistics Hub at Dubai South, represents the first strategic warehousing and logistics partnership between the two companies and reinforces their shared commitment to building a stronger, more integrated global relationship.

Iron Mountain will provide an integrated suite of logistics services across Unilever's divisions, bringing together bonded and non-bonded warehousing, fulfilment activities and value-added services, including co-packing and product-set assembly, under one roof. By consolidating multiple activities within a single facility, supported by drone technology and automated robotic inventory counting, the operation will streamline logistics processes, further enhance inventory visibility, improve coordination across Unilever's divisions and support greater efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Ako Djaf, Managing Director, Warehousing & Logistics – MENAT / APAC at Iron Mountain, said: “This partnership with Unilever marks an important milestone for Iron Mountain as we establish our first warehousing and logistics operation in the UAE. By bringing together warehousing, fulfilment and value-added logistics services within a single integrated operation, we are creating a strong foundation to support Unilever's evolving supply-chain needs, building on our shared commitment to operational excellence and innovation. As trusted guardians of what matters most to our customers, we see this as the beginning of an important chapter in our partnership, with opportunities to deepen our collaboration, leverage our respective capabilities and explore further areas of mutual growth to unlock what's possible across multiple markets.”

Ahmed Kadous, Customer Operations Head, Unilever GCC, Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh, said: “At Unilever, our customers and consumers are at the heart of how we operate, and we are continually looking for ways to become more responsive, agile, resilient and reliable in serving them. Strong partnerships are critical to making that possible. Our partnership with Iron Mountain brings together local market and export operations with value-added capabilities under one roof, giving us greater flexibility to tailor solutions to evolving customer needs.
