AD Ports Group has announced that Noatum, which leads the Group’s Logistics Cluster, has launched Noatum Logistics Middle East, the company’s new brand that solidifies its commitment to delivering market-leading logistics services within the Middle East region.
The new brand takes over from MICCO Logistics, which has served the Abu Dhabi and the GCC markets with distinction for over four decades, and which has been the freight forwarding arm of AD Ports Group’s Logistics Cluster since the company’s acquisition in 2020.
With strong ties to the natural resources sector, where it supported more than 80% of Abu Dhabi’s total oil, gas, and petrochemical projects, MICCO has served multiple industry sectors backed by an advanced fleet of over 400 vehicles.
With MICCO’s consolidation into Noatum Logistics Middle East, its regional clients and stakeholders will continue to receive the same level of service excellence, while greatly benefitting from Noatum’s scale and agility.
Specifically, customers will be able to leverage Noatum’s global network of 16 terminals and 143 international offices, presence across 67 ports, and a team of over 4,200 professionals covering 27 countries across all major global markets and trade lanes, inclusive of Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America.
