EMX unveils Dark Store network to empower UAE’s
eCommerce growth

13/05/2025

Dubai, UAE, May 12, 2025:
EMX, the logistics arm of 7X, unveiled a new solution designed to support the UAE’s hyperlocal eCommerce landscape. EMX’s latest
offering – Dark Store network – facilitates quick and affordable deliveries across the UAE for retailers, online marketplaces, and direct-to-
consumer brands, solidifying the company’s position as a regional logistics leader.

EMX’s ‘Dark Store’ is a distribution facility that caters exclusively to online shopping. Retailers can utilise the Dark Store as a fulfilment
centre to speed up the delivery of online orders or offer their customers the option to ‘click-and-collect’ the products they have ordered
online. As part of its commitment to accelerating last-mile innovation, EMX is enabling eCommerce companies to meet growing
consumer expectations, operate with greater agility, and optimise their supply chains by leveraging its vast logistics infrastructure and in-
depth market knowledge.

Laith Tahboub, General Manager of EMX, commented, “Innovation involves more than just speed – it is further defined by efficiency,
adaptability, and sustainability. With the launch of our Dark Store network, we are expanding on this notion and providing our partners
with the tools necessary to scale seamlessly, fulfil faster, and deliver smarter.”

“The initiative aligns with EMX's broader strategic goal of reshape logistics in ways that enhance customer satisfaction and deliver
greater operational value for our clients. Some of our Dark Stores are already operational in collaboration with prominent e-Commerce
players, and we are actively working to expand the network to at least 36 locations across the UAE by the end of 2025, a significant step
in our journey toward a smarter, more connected last-mile ecosystem,” Tahboub added.
