Ghassan Aboud Holding, EasyLease Launch Gallega Aftermarket Hub at Jafza

State-of-the-art 20,000 cubic metre hub to strengthen spare parts distribution and support faster delivery across the UAE and GCC

The 215K SQFT million facility is projected to handle over 10M automotive parts annually and create 200+ new jobs, providing faster, more reliable spare parts distribution across the UAE and GCC. The hub comes at a critical time as the GCC automotive aftermarket continues to grow at around 5% annually, reflecting rising vehicle demand and the increasing adoption of electric mobility across the region.

The launch follows the signing of a strategic agreement aimed at delivering flexible, technology-enabled logistics solutions to support the growing automotive aftermarket across the region. The hub operates 24/7 and will feature Warehouse Management System (WMS) and a dedicated multi-size delivery fleet, enabling fast, reliable last-mile and regional distribution. It is also fully equipped to handle electric vehicle (EV) batteries, reflecting the region’s shift toward sustainable transport.

The signing ceremony was held under the patronage of Ghassan Aboud, Chairman of Ghassan Aboud Holding and Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director of DP World GCC. The agreement was executed by Sheikh Saeed Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Vice Chairman of EasyLease and Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO – Parks and Zones, DP World GCC.

Ghassan Aboud, Chairman of Ghassan Aboud Holding, said, “The launch of Gallega’s multi-user aftermarket logistics hub at Jafza is a significant milestone for our partnership with DP World. This facility demonstrates our commitment to delivering scalable, technology-enabled logistics solutions that meet the evolving demands of the automotive aftermarket, including electric mobility, while strengthening regional supply chain resilience.”

Sheikh Saeed Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Vice Chairman of EasyLease, added, “Strong aftermarket logistics play a critical role in keeping vehicles on the road and customers moving. This new hub marks an important step for the UAE’s automotive logistics sector and reflects how Gallega Global Logistics is strengthening aftermarket spare parts supply. Working closely with Ghassan Aboud Holding and DP World, the focus is on building infrastructure that works in real-world conditions, supporting the automotive sector today and preparing it for what comes next.”

The hub is expected to improve delivery times, enhance service levels and strengthen supply chain resilience, supporting both regional and international aftermarket operations. With its strategic location in Jafza, the facility also strengthens the UAE’s position as a regional hub for automotive logistics.

Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director, DP World GCC, said: “Across the GCC, the automotive aftermarket is growing at around 5% annually, driving the need for smarter and more resilient distribution systems. Dubai has built the connectivity, business environment and scale to support that growth. The decision by Ghassan Aboud, EasyLease and Gallega to expand in Jafza reflects the confidence global players place in Dubai as a hub from which they can serve multiple markets efficiently and over the long term.”

Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO – Parks & Zones, DP World GCC, said: “This state-of-the-art hub will provide faster and smarter distribution of spare parts for customers across the region. It strengthens supply chain resilience, reduces downtime for businesses and ensures end consumers have access to the parts they need. Developments like this show how we continue to bring partners together to build world-class, practical infrastructure that delivers long-term value across the automotive value chain.”

Sara Rachid, CEO of Gallega Global Logistics, added: “We are proud to operate this state-of-the-art hub, which will serve as a central node for automotive spare parts distribution across the UAE and the region. With advanced infrastructure, WMS-enabled operations, and a dedicated delivery fleet, our customers can expect faster, more reliable service than ever before. This aftermarket spare parts fulfilment operation also complements the comprehensive solutions we already provide for finished vehicle logistics including PDI, repairs, and maintenance support- strengthening Gallega’s position as a true one-stop shop for automotive OEMs and distributors across the UAE.”

The Gallega hub will serve as a model for future multi-user logistics facilities in the region, setting new standards in efficiency, reliability, and customer service.
