By GlobalData“Tanger Med Logistical Zone offers more than 200 Ha including ready to use warehouses for logistics operations and enjoys full integration with Tanger Med Port, hence offering weekly connectivity to more than 186 ports worldwide,” added Medhub GM, Rachid Houari.
“The Logistical Zone is a perfect choice for large multinationals and logistical operators seeking to optimise their logistics operations and redistribute their flow of goods to Africa, Europe and America.”
The new warehouse also strengthens Gefco’s position in the Maghreb, a key geographical area for the company, which has made significant investments there in recent years. In August, 2018, Gefco acquired GLT, a specialist in Europe-Morocco transport and the leading operator of Algeciras-Tangiers crossings.
In 2019, Gefco started transporting PSA vehicles by rail from its Kenitra factory and, at the end of 2020, created the Groupe PSA Client Cluster General Management for the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco.
Gefco provides Morocco multi-modal solutions by road, sea and air, as well as finished vehicle logistics, warehousing, customs and tax, reusable packaging and time-critical solutions.
