Agility, a global logistics provider, has announced the opening of the Shanghai Logistics Hub. As one of the biggest facilities of its kind in China to date, the 66,000 m2 hub will receive and distribute up to 600,000 tons of polyolefins annually from Borouge's plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Agility Abu Dhabi designed, constructed and owns this state of the art facility and will manage operations and distribution to the Asian market over 10 years.
The Shanghai Logistics Hub will receive polymer resins in bulk containers directly from the Borouge Middle East gateway situated at Ruwais in Abu Dhabi. These polymers are used in a wide range of applications including pipe systems, wires and cables, automotive components and advanced packaging as well as household white goods.
Adjacent to the Logistics Hub is a 30,000 m2 compound manufacturing unit (CMU) which produces 50,000 tons of polymer compounds each year. Agility Abu Dhabi, a joint venture between Agility, Mubadala Investment Company and Al Dahra, designed the building infrastructure and service connections that support the CMU.
