GWC establishes two UAE subsidiaries and Meydan Free Zone partnership

Gulf Warehousing Company Q.P.S.C. (GWC Group), a Qatar-based logistics operator, has established two new subsidiaries in the United Arab Emirates and formed a strategic partnership with Meydan Free Zone. The developments were disclosed during the first half of 2026 as part of the group's expansion across Gulf Cooperation Council markets.

Two new UAE entities serve commercial and energy sectors#

GWC established the two new UAE subsidiaries in response to customer demand, according to a company statement. The entities serve the commercial trading and energy sectors. The company's UAE operations have their base at National Industries Park, linking businesses in the Emirates with Qatar and the group's broader regional logistics network. The company did not disclose the registration dates or capitalisation of the new subsidiaries.

Meydan Free Zone partnership connects company formation with logistics network#

The group formalised a strategic partnership with Meydan Free Zone during the same period. The agreement connects company formation and market-entry services through the free zone with GWC's logistics and distribution network across Qatar and other GCC markets. No financial terms or effective date for the partnership were disclosed in the available sources.

GWC operates multimodal corridors and expands across GCC#

During the first half of 2026, GWC operated three multimodal trade corridors across the GCC, including a TIR-enabled air-land route through Hamad International Airport. The group ran alternative routes by sea-land and air-land connecting Qatar with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain when regional disruption occurred. GWC's regional logistics platform now spans 20 locations across the GCC. The group reported that its network reaches more than 120 countries through over 550 freight partners. The company runs more than four million square metres of logistics infrastructure and handles more than two million tonnes of freight each year.

Oman and Saudi Arabia operations expanded#

In Oman, GWC has increased its freight, contract logistics, cold-chain and cross-border activities. The company completed what it described as one of the country's first frozen bulk vessel operations, though no date or vessel details were provided. In Saudi Arabia, the group opened GWC Al Nakheel in Jeddah, a Grade-A ambient cross-docking facility built to extend its cold-chain and regional distribution operations. No opening date or facility size was disclosed.
