Wilo Group and DP World have expanded their strategic partnership through a new Memorandum of Understanding aimed at advancing sustainable infrastructure, smart logistics and AI-based innovation in the global water sector.

The agreement was signed recently at Wilopark in Dortmund by Wilo CEO Oliver Hermes and Abdulla Al Hashmi, Global Chief Operating Officer, Parks and Economic Zones at DP World. The signing was also attended by Abdulla Al Khater, Head of the Economic Section at the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Berlin.

The partnership builds on Wilo’s long-standing presence in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, operated by DP World, where the company established its Green Fab facility in Dubai nearly two decades ago. The facility was significantly expanded last year, strengthening Wilo’s manufacturing and regional operations.

Under the MoU, both companies will explore the use of Wilo’s AI-integrated solutions across DP World’s logistics hubs and ports. They will also work on optimising Wilo’s global supply chains and assessing collaboration under the Wilo Global WATER AI Academy programme.

The expanded partnership is expected to support smarter industrial operations, improve supply chain resilience and create new opportunities for manufacturers and customers across the UAE, Germany and wider global markets.
