Mohebi Logistics

What Mohebi Logistics does

Mohebi Logistics is a Dubai-based, vertically-integrated third-party logistics provider founded in 2007 as part of the Zainal Mohebi Holdings group (heritage dating to 1931). The company operates from Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) and its newer 206,000-square-meter Dubai South logistics center, with 180,000 pallet positions expandable to 250,000 and a four-level temperature-controlled storage infrastructure (ambient, air-conditioned below 25°C, chilled below 8°C, frozen at -25°C). Headcount has grown from 66 employees in 2008 to 1,000+ by 2017, supported by AED 1 billion in total parent-company investment commitment.

The core service offering spans the full supply chain: Sourcing (FMCG purchasing leverage), Demand Estimation (SKU-level forecasting), Freight Management (import and trans-shipment coordination via proximity to JAFZA customs, seaport, and airport), Storage & Distribution, Inventory Management (Infor WMS with real-time tracking, RFID/barcode, BLE), and Retail Logistics (labeling, co-packing, last-mile fulfillment). The technology stack is conventional enterprise-grade — Oracle financials on Sun/HP infrastructure, Cisco fiber-optic data center, GPS-equipped delivery fleet — without disclosed AI/ML components. Quality and security certifications include HACCP, ISO 9001, and TAPA Tier 1.

Commercially, Mohebi generates revenue via enterprise 3PL contracts with custom pricing negotiated per engagement, multi-year contract cadence, and direct enterprise field sales targeting international FMCG manufacturers, supermarkets/hypermarkets, quick-service restaurants, fashion brands, and hospitality groups. Anchor enterprise clients include Nestlé Middle East (15-year relationship, 7-year renewal in 2015), L'Oréal Middle East (consolidated distribution partnership since 2016), McDonald's Gulf (via the STI joint venture with Martin Brower), Monsoon (via LF Logistics), Americana Restaurants, Compass Group, and Subway UAE. Geographic footprint covers the MENA/GCC core with stated expansion into India (Compac Group JV, 2013) and South Africa (80% stake in Gourmet Fresh via Thibe Mohebi, 2014). Marketing is event-led (Gulfood), PR-driven (CNN, Supply Chain Digital), and supported by a bi-monthly newsletter and corporate brochure; the company has no app, no public API, and no disclosed SDK.
