Dubai Industrial City, one of the largest industrial hubs in the region and a member of TECOM Group, hosted a reception to mark the opening of the new corporate headquarters of the UAE-based Al Madina Group. The new 400,000 square feet complex, which also houses Al Madina Distribution Centre that services the whole of the UAE, and its industrial manufacturer of bakery and ready-to-eat products Oasis Cuisines, commenced operations following the ceremony.
