This warehouse marks one of Jumia’s largest investments in Egypt and reaffirms the company’s strong confidence in Egypt’s economic and logistical position on the African continent

 

 

This new investment is a pivotal step in enhancing Jumia’s production and service capabilities. The warehouse boasts a strategic location and large capacity, enabling it to accommodate thousands of products across various categories. It is equipped with the latest smart management and storage systems, contributing to faster order processing and improved customer satisfaction. The facility is a cornerstone of Jumia’s logistics network, supporting future expansion plans and providing a robust infrastructure to serve sellers and consumers more efficiently—aligned with the company’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality services and advancing Egypt’s digital economy.

 

 

The investment also supports local products and manufacturing by offering customized solutions for Egyptian merchants and manufacturers through Jumia’s platform.

Jumia announced that the new warehouse is expected to create up to 10,000 direct and indirect job opportunities through the ecosystem in the coming years, enhancing the company’s role in supporting the national economy and empowering Egyptian youth.

Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly praised Jumia’s successes in the Egyptian market over the past years, now crowned by this new warehouse investment. He stated:

“We welcome this move by Jumia, which reflects the trust that major global companies have in Egypt’s investment climate. We look forward to more partnerships that support the state’s goals in digital transformation, the development of logistics infrastructure, and the provision of job opportunities for Egyptian youth.”

Mr. Abdel Latif Olama, CEO of Jumia Egypt, expressed his happiness with the visit and the Egyptian government’s interest in promising companies like Jumia. He stated:

“We are proud of this achievement, which reflects Jumia’s long-term investment commitment in Egypt. We view Egypt as a strategic hub for our operations in the region.
