Petrochem Middle East has opened its largest petrochemical terminal and corporate headquarters in Jebel Ali, marking a AED 300 million investment that strengthens Dubai’s industrial logistics and aligns with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
The new facility consolidates Petrochem’s operational and corporate functions in a purpose-built site designed to support chemical storage, distribution, and logistics for the next three decades. It aims to enhance supply chain resilience, support local manufacturing, and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global trade hub.
Rohan Mehta, Managing Director at Petrochem, described the development as a statement of long-term intent, emphasizing the company’s commitment to growth, innovation, and employee confidence. Founder and Chairman Yogesh Mehta highlighted the project as a realisation of Petrochem’s 30-year vision and confidence in Dubai’s economic strategy.
The Jebel Ali terminal complements Petrochem’s existing UAE operations and features multiple LEED Gold-certified office buildings. It is designed to meet rising private-sector demand for large-scale specialised logistics and to enable efficient chemical distribution across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
DP World leadership praised the expansion as a boost for industrial development and high-value manufacturing. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said the investment reinforces Dubai’s attractiveness for global manufacturers. Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO & MD of DP World GCC, noted that the integrated facility allows faster operations, reduced complexity, and improved service to international markets.
Founded in 1995 in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Petrochem has grown into a multinational chemical distributor. The new terminal reflects its strategic focus on operational integration, proximity to trade infrastructure, and long-term commitment to Dubai’s economic growth under the D33 agenda.
