WES Group has established its Regional Supply Chain, Procurement, and Logistics Hub in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, serving as the central coordination point for its international operations in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Djibouti. Leveraging Dubai’s strategic geographic position, advanced infrastructure, and world-class trade ecosystem, WES Group efficiently manages the end-to-end movement of goods, services, and operational supplies to support peacekeeping and diplomatic missions across multiple regions.

Strategic Role and Capabilities

Dubai functions as the nerve center of WES Group’s global supply chain network, enabling fast, secure, and reliable sourcing, procurement, and distribution of mission-critical products. The company’s logistics structure is designed to maintain continuity even in high-risk or remote deployment zones.

Key capabilities include:

• Global procurement coordination, sourcing from Europe, Asia, and North America through a centralized Dubai hub.

• Consolidated warehousing and inventory control, ensuring supply readiness for rapid deployment.

• Customs and compliance management, adhering to international trade regulations and host-nation requirements.

• Efficient air and sea freight operations, using Dubai’s ports and logistics corridors to supply operations in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Djibouti.

• Integration with mission support frameworks, aligning with NATO, UN, and partner-nation logistics protocols.

Supply Chain Partnerships

WES Group’s Dubai operations rely on a network of trusted regional and international supply chain partners, ensuring a seamless and transparent procurement process. These include:

• Ciano T&S S.r.l. (Italy) – joint venture partner in Somalia operations.

• Regional freight forwarders and customs agents operating from Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) and Dubai World Central (DWC).

• Certified global vendors providing food, personal care, electronics, and duty-free retail goods under the Wireless PX program.

• Third-party logistics (3PL) partners managing multi-modal shipments for air, sea, and land distribution across operational theaters.

Regional Impact and Continuing Operations

The Dubai hub enables WES Group to maintain uninterrupted supply chains to challenging environments, supporting its duty- and tax-free Post Exchange (PX) operations in multiple international missions. This regional base ensures operational agility, cost efficiency, and rapid response capability for all current and future deployments.

The WES Group Gulfstream Division, headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, serves as the company’s primary regional hub for supply chain, procurement, and logistics operations. This division plays a pivotal role in supporting WES Group’s global network — particularly its missions and commercial activities in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Djibouti.

Strategically located at the crossroads of global trade routes, the Dubai hub enables WES Group to efficiently manage international sourcing, warehousing, and transport operations while maintaining compliance with NATO, UN, and regional regulatory frameworks.
