According to DHL Global Forwarding general manger in Morocco, Christelle Fadel, the facility will “support multi-modal connectivity, especially its maritime as well as road connections to Casablanca and the South. It will allow us to expand and enhance our customer service offering”.

Operations are set to begin in May.
