Through the collaboration, Rock-It seeks to develop world-class bonded storage and logistics facilities designed to serve the group’s five core end markets: sports, live entertainment, fine art, film & television, and luxury automotive. Once complete, Rock-It’s facilities will deliver secure, climate-controlled environments and bespoke handling solutions for high-value assets in Abu Dhabi, enabling clients to host, store, and manage global productions, exhibitions, and luxury collections with world-class precision in the capital.
More broadly, Rock-It’s presence in the capital will support Abu Dhabi’s Automotive Programme Strategy and advance the emirate’s wider economic diversification agenda by enhancing capabilities in advanced logistics, creative industries, and high-value exports. By utilising Abu Dhabi’s infrastructure, connectivity, and streamlined regulatory framework, Rock-It expects that its expansion will enable frictionless cross-border operations and further establish the capital as a strategic logistics and cultural trade hub.
“Abu Dhabi’s growth as a centre for sport, art, and entertainment aligns perfectly with Rock-It’s global expertise,” said Daniel Rosenthal, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Rock-It Company. “Our expansion into the capital allows us to offer our clients - from major sporting events and film productions to luxury car manufacturers and art institutions - seamless, end-to-end logistics delivered to the highest international standards.”
James McSweeney, Managing Director of The Rock-It Company in the Middle East, said: “Having operated in this region for 18 years, I have seen Abu Dhabi’s transformation first-hand. The pace of development is impressive, but what really convinced us was the calibre of the partners involved and the seriousness of the ambition here. That is why we are bringing the strength of our specialist brands to Abu Dhabi.”
Mohammad Al Kamali, Chief Trade and Industry Officer at the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), said: “Abu Dhabi is strengthening its position as a globally connected trade and specialised logistics hub by supporting industries where precision, reliability and speed are critical. As global supply chains become increasingly specialised and time-sensitive, demand is growing for logistics partners with the expertise to handle high-value and complex assets. Rock-It’s expertise in transporting these valuable assets, from luxury and performance vehicles to live entertainment and fine art, enhances our capabilities and reinforces Abu Dhabi’s attractiveness as the preferred gateway for global brands serving regional and international markets.”
Building on its established presence in Dubai, the new Rock-It facility in Abu Dhabi will unite the group’s specialist brands under one regional hub in the capital, including Rock-it Cargo (live touring), Rock-It’s divisions dedicated to Sports, Experiential and Productions, DIETL By Rock-It (fine art and museum logistics), and CARS By Rock-It (luxury and performance automotive). Collectively, these brands and other expanded services across the Rock-It portfolio will offer fully integrated, white-glove services across the UAE and wider Middle East. Rock-It believes this expansion to Abu Dhabi will be a complement to its longstanding presence in Dubai and help deepen its collaboration with partners across the UAE.
The expansion is also designed to support job creation, knowledge transfer and development of UAE-based talent in specialised logistics roles, contributing to Abu Dhabi’s efforts to build local capabilities in high-skill, globally relevant industries.
