Mosolf opens new automotive facility at Jebel Ali Port

The new Mosolf facility will be used for specialised vehicle storage, inspection and technical preparation. The 161,000 sq. ft site is comprised of open vehicle storage and a nearly 11,000 sq. ft warehouse equipped for pre-delivery inspection (PDI) and technical vehicle preparation services.

Jafza confirmed that the facility has been fully operational since March this year, and noted that vehicles at the site will be processed in line with established international automotive standards.

Based in Germany but with locations in Poland, Spain, Belgium, France, the Czech Republic and China, Mosolf has focused on international expansion in recent years, with a particular focus on strategic growth in the GCC. At the beginning of 2025, Mosolf Port Logistics and Services (MPLS) acquired Transport Overseas Group (TO Group) – giving MPLS access to TO Group's existing international footprint in markets including in Finland, the USA and, through its location in Dubai, the UAE.

"The establishment of Mosolf's facility in Jafza represents an important step in our international growth strategy," commented Dr Joerg Mosolf, chairman of Mosolf Group. "The location, infrastructure and connectivity available here enable us to deliver high-quality, flexible vehicle processing services while supporting knowledge transfer and the development of local expertise in the UAE."
