Situated in the heart of China’s policymaking and planning hub, the new office is set to spearhead the Group’s commercial and investment initiatives across China and the broader Asian region.
According to Emirates News Agency, the new establishment complements AD Ports Group’s extensive network of over 140 offices globally. The office was officially opened by Samir Chaturvedi, Chief International Business Officer of AD Ports Group and CEO of Noatum Logistics, alongside Abdulaziz Zayed Al-Shamsi, Regional CEO of AD Ports Group, and Ellie Hioe, General Manager of Noatum Logistics – Greater China.
