“This investment is an important milestone for Aramex as it signals our long-term commitment to the document management business and strengthens our position as a provider of business solutions,” he added.
Built on 20,000 square metres, the three-level compound includes 12,000 sqm of warehousing space and 4,500 sqm of temperature-controlled space, with an operational capacity to hold over 1.5 million boxes and 12 million files.
The center is also equipped with sophisticated safety and security systems, and has advanced scanning and sorting capabilities for the millions of documents it will house.
“Companies in the region are becoming increasingly sophisticated and InfoFort is ideally placed to help them manage the growing complexity of their business and protect their confidentiality in a highly safe and secure environment,” said Georges Harfouche, Managing Director of InfoFort.
Over the past 3 years, Aramex has successfully transformed InfoFort to become the leading document management solutions provider in the Middle East.
The new mega-facility's reach will extend across the GCC and MENA region, acting as an unmatched regional force for InfoFort's network of Records Management Centers in Saudi, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.
The company serves a diverse clientele, including banks, financial institutions, insurers, media and telecommunication companies, hospitals and other industries which make up the region's thriving knowledge economy.
