These strategic investments enable Momentum Logistics to further strengthen its position as one of the region’s largest and most dynamic logistics companies.
 Gulftainer’s technology division reported a year-over-year growth of 45% in 2024, reflecting the increasing reliance on technology to drive operational efficiencies and enhance service delivery.
