“GE Vernova’s expansion within SAIF Zone is a testament to its effective strategies to deliver top-tier services to investors. The Free Zone’s approach guarantees a nurturing environment for businesses to grow, expand, and serve regional and international markets effectively. SAIF Zone will continue solidifying its position as a leading investment hub in key economic sectors, including renewable energy and advanced industries. Our efforts are to contribute effectively to Sharjah’s economic diversification strategy, the UAE’s transition toward a low-carbon green economy, and the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy. The growing expansion of operations within the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone demonstrates its status as a strategic hub for businesses seeking access to global markets.”
The new warehouse will enhance the supply chain by focusing on the distribution of spare parts and the repair and maintenance of equipment for the electric power sector, including wind turbines, as well as solar and hydropower systems.
Designed to support GE Vernova’s logistics operations, the facility will enhance the supply chain by reducing response times for spare parts needed for major projects across the UAE and the region. This expansion will help customers maintain operational continuity and achieve optimal efficiency in their operations.
For his part, Eric Chaussin said that the company’s decision to expand operations in the Free Zone was driven by the competitive advantages it offers, including its strategic location and advanced infrastructure.
“These factors enable quick and efficient access to local and global markets, streamlining the company’s logistics operations and improving the distribution of spare parts and equipment for the electric power sector,” he added.
