Vienna/Doha, October 13, 2025 – In a strategic move to meet the growing demand for professional e-commerce fulfillment in the Gulf States, European technology and logistics scale-up Quivo has joined forces with GWC, a MENA logistics leader. The partnership, sealed through a EUR 5.2 million strategic investment by GWC, marks the beginning of a joint expansion into the markets of Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Saudi Arabia.
The first GWC warehouse in Qatar has already been equipped with Quivo software, with further sites in Dubai and Saudi Arabia to follow in the coming months. “With GWC, we have found the ideal partner to bring our fulfillment expertise to one of the most dynamic regions in the world,” stated Georg Weiß, Co-Founder and CEO of Quivo. His fellow Co-Founder and CEO, Christoph Glatzl, added: “Together, we are expanding a network that not only facilitates international brands’ entry into the Gulf States but also enables seamless intra-GCC expansion, giving them genuine access to a rapidly growing market of millions of digitally savvy consumers for the first time.”
The e-commerce market in the Gulf States, members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), is experiencing rapid growth and is projected to nearly double by 2029, reaching around USD 47 billion. The market in Saudi Arabia is expected to grow from USD 10 billion (2022) to USD 23 billion (2027), in the UAE from USD 12.3 to 17.2 billion, and in Qatar from USD 1.8 to 3.5 billion, according to the Seamless GCC Market Report 2024. With internet penetration exceeding 99 percent and a young, digitally oriented population, the GCC markets offer ideal conditions for expansion.
The partnership benefits customers of both companies, with Quivo contributing its proven software and process expertise in e-commerce fulfillment, while GWC provides its extensive infrastructure and market knowledge as Qatar’s logistics market leader. “E-commerce is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the GCC region,” emphasized Matthew Kearns, Acting Group CEO of GWC. “As the regional market leader, we are constantly expanding our offering. With Quivo at our side, we now provide customers with a fully integrated fulfillment solution – covering everything from storage and processing to delivery.”
The collaboration also means access to a new growth market and fresh capital for further product development for Quivo, while GWC expands its portfolio with the highly demanded e-commerce fulfillment service and gains easier access to the European market. Customers of both companies benefit by being able to seamlessly scale their products between Europe, the USA, and the Middle East.
