Al-Futtaim Logistics, the logistics arm of the Dubai-based Al-Futtaim Group, officially launched its Exhibition Logistics services at the 8th Middle East Events Show.
Al-Futtaim Logistics now extends its competence to individual and corporate customers throughout the Middle East who require local and international moving services, handyman service and storage/warehousing solutions to hold stock for their events in the nearby markets.
