Modern Freight expands facility

Modern Freight Company (MFC), Dubai-based supply chain and logistics services provider, has expanded its facility in the Jebel Ali Free Zone to house its corporate head office, operations and support functions under one roof.

In addition to its corporate head office functions and administrative departments, MFC's new set-up brings together its entire range of services including export and cross trade, projects handling, sea and air import/export, customer service, warehousing and distribution and a container freight station.

MFC's head office was previously located in Bur Dubai.
