AKI Logistics, a company of Al Khayyat Investments (AKI), has signed a three-year strategic agreement with NMC Group Services Ltd, a healthcare service provider in the UAE, to provide warehousing and logistics services for NMC’s healthcare network across the UAE.
Under the agreement, AKI Logistics will provide end-to-end supply chain and warehousing solutions from its facility in Dubai Investments Park.
The services will support the distribution of pharmaceuticals, medical consumables, and related healthcare products across NMC’s network.
The logistics operations will support more than 80 NMC healthcare facilities across the UAE, including locations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al-Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain, and Al Ain.
The partnership enhances inventory management, distribution efficiency, and supply chain coordination across the healthcare provider’s operations.
Samer Sabri, Chief Supply Chain Officer at AKI, said that, “This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to powering patient care and well-being in mission-critical industries with reliable and agile logistics services that enhance operations and improve efficiency. By partnering with NMC in particular, we are proud to be strengthening the resilience and scalability of the UAE’s healthcare supply chain.”

“Through this collaboration, NMC’s logistics operations will benefit from faster replenishment cycles, greater flexibility in delivery models, and improved stock availability, all of which will improve our ability to deliver seamless patient care.”
AKI Logistics will operate the services through its established infrastructure in Dubai Investments Park, where it manages dedicated logistics operations for healthcare and other sectors.
The company recently expanded its logistics capabilities with the launch of its Fulfillment and Innovation Center in Dubai. The facility spans one million square feet and has increased AKI’s fulfillment capacity in the UAE to more than 1.5 million units per day.
It also includes provisions for future expansion of an additional 200,000 square feet and currently serves more than 30,000 business customers.
