“HFZA would continue to promote investments in heavy industries, including steel fabrication, by offering a welcoming business environment and cutting-edge infrastructure that perfectly suits these industries and meets their needs. More businesses are either growing in the free zone or basing their operations there. This is due to the effectiveness of our sophisticated systems, which guarantee the flow of raw materials regularly and enable manufacturing facilities to run at full capacity, as well as the integrated logistical services that we provide, linking manufacturers with more than 3.5 billion customers around the world.”
Mr. Neeraj K Sharma, CEO of Trend Industries, said that HFZA has significantly supported the company in accelerating its growth and achieving its vision of becoming a leading manufacturing company in the Middle East by expanding 3M’s (Men, Material, and Machinery).
“Through the new facility, we look forward to expanding our customer base, accessing new markets in Africa, the USA, Europe, and India, and branching out into new sectors such as automobiles, the oil and gas industry, in addition to the industries we are currently specializing in, such as construction and manufacturing industry,” Mr. Sharma added.
