Abu Dhabi’s sovereign investor ADQ has officially completed its acquisition of a majority stake in Dubai-listed logistics firm Aramex, marking a strategic milestone in the UAE’s push to build a globally integrated transport and logistics platform. 

The deal, executed through ADQ’s wholly owned subsidiary Q Logistics Holding LLC, brings ADQ’s total ownership in Aramex to 63.16%, including shares held via AD Ports Group.

The acquisition follows the successful completion of a voluntary tender offer and the receipt of all necessary antitrust and foreign direct investment approvals from authorities within and outside the UAE. 

Aramex will now be integrated into ADQ’s Transport & Logistics cluster, joining a portfolio that includes AD Ports Group, Etihad Rail, and Abu Dhabi Airports.

With operations in over 65 countries, a leading trucking network across the GCC, and 800,000 square meters of global warehousing, Aramex adds significant scale and operational depth to ADQ’s logistics ecosystem. 

The move is expected to accelerate the development of a multimodal logistics platform that supports regional trade and enhances Abu Dhabi’s position as a global logistics hub.

Mansour AlMulla, Deputy Group CEO of ADQ, stated: “Aramex brings strong capabilities that complement our existing investments across air, sea, and land infrastructure. We believe it is well positioned to unlock long-term value through greater integration with ADQ’s broader portfolio.”
