“This value and earnings accretive acquisition, which significantly broadens AD Ports Group’s global footprint and positions it among the leading logistics and freight forwarding companies in the world,” the Abu Dhabi entity said in a statement.

AD Ports Group will merge its existing logistics business with Noatum to ‘create a significant presence in the region and enhancing services across the company’s global footprint’.
