Company profile
DP World Logistics Limited
DP World Logistics Limited, trading as MDS Logistics, is a Nigerian integrated supply chain and logistics company jointly owned by DP World and UAC of Nigeria Plc. The business traces its origins to 1965, when Manufacturers’ Delivery Services was established to provide warehousing services to UAC’s merchandising division. It subsequently evolved from an internal UAC distribution support function into a third-party logistics provider serving manufacturers, importers, service providers and wholesale distributors across Nigeria. Imperial Logistics acquired a 49% stake in MDS from UAC in 2013 and increased its shareholding to 57% in 2019, with UAC retaining 43%. Following DP World’s acquisition of Imperial Logistics, DP World Logistics is now jointly owned by DP World and UACN plc. DP World Logistics provides logistics and ancillary services across warehousing, haulage, distribution, clearing and forwarding, dedicated transport, inventory management, cold chain operations and pharmaceutical logistics.
