KEZAD Group, the leading operator of integrated economic zones in Abu Dhabi, has officially entered into a long-term land lease agreement with the Heavy Equipment Division of Galadari Brothers. This strategic partnership, spanning half a century, involves a significant investment of AED 75 million to establish a cutting-edge industrial facility within the KEZAD Al Ma’mourah (KEZAD A) district. The project is set to cover a massive 150,000 square meter area, specifically designed to streamline the storage and distribution of heavy machinery and specialized industrial equipment across the region.
Galadari Brothers, a prominent Dubai-based conglomerate with over 60 years of heritage, is utilizing this expansion to bolster its logistics framework and regional footprint. Their Heavy Equipment Division has a storied history, evolving over four decades from a focused distributor into a comprehensive provider of global commercial vehicle brands and construction machinery. This new facility in Abu Dhabi represents a critical step in their strategy to enhance supply chain resilience and meet the growing demand for industrial assets in the UAE.

He noted that the partnership not only supports Galadari’s corporate growth but also aligns with Abu Dhabi’s broader economic development goals. By providing world-class infrastructure, KEZAD continues to attract major industry players looking for long-term stability.
Mohammed Galadari, Co-Chairman and Group CEO of Galadari Brothers, stated that the new hub will allow the division to scale its operations and optimize its distribution network. He expressed that this multi-million dirham investment is a testament to the group's confidence in the UAE’s industrial diversification and economic growth trajectory. This move solidifies KEZAD’s position as a premier destination for industrial investment and a vital pillar of the UAE's logistics sector.
