Bashar Obeid, CEO of Aramex, said, “We are pleased to become the strategic partner with Transportr and start servicing Abu Dhabi’s leading industrial group, Ittihad International Investment. Together we will be contributing to the advancement and proliferation of the logistics sector in Abu Dhabi, a key area of focus for the government. Furthermore, this partnership further validates Aramex’s excellent reputation as a reliable, experienced logistics partner providing excellent and highly efficient services to companies and entities across the UAE.”

Alaa Hawari, general manager of Transportr, said, “At Transportr, we are proud to say that we are one of the fastest-growing digital freight solutions platform in the UAE, thanks to our valuable customers like Ittihad International Investment. We look forward for further expansion in the GCC region in 2021. Our number one priority is to solve decades-old problems of inefficiency in freight movements by providing one-stop platform for all freight requirement services, and by leveraging Aramex’s expertise and deep knowledge, excellent service is certain.”

Earlier this year, Aramex was tapped by Mubadala Healthcare as the logistics partner to help distribute door-to-door critical medical supplies to up to 2,000 patients across the UAE.
