Dubai, UAE: The Investment Corporation of Dubai, the principal investment arm of the Government of Dubai announces the launch of ISS Global Forwarding, a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on supply chain logistics.

ISS Global Forwarding will initially be present in 18 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, India and Turkey. As part of its ambitious growth strategy, the company will expand its footprint to Asia Pacific, mainland China and Singapore. In addition, ISS Global Forwarding benefits from a global network thanks to partnerships with global operators, thereby providing its customers with multimodal, end-to-end supply chain solutions.

ISS Global Forwarding will be led by industry veteran Mr. Enver Moretti and a highly experienced senior management team. "We are establishing ourselves as a regional powerhouse and our aspiration is to be recognised within the supply chain logistics industry as a customer centric organisation" said Mr. Moretti.
