A state-of-the-art 450,000 sq. m. integrated Metal Park, designed to help leading companies adapt to market demand without infrastructure constraints, will be developed at Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (Kezad).
Senior executives from Kezad Group, the integrated trade, logistics, and industrial hub of Abu Dhabi, attended the official ground-breaking ceremony.
The park will support storage and handling, processing, and fabrication activities, in addition to offering access to research and development amenities, rental office space, and associated financial services all in one location.
Membership will also enable Metal Park Investment ME Ltd’s clients to reduce their operating costs, without the overheads that traditional businesses in this sector face.
Moreover, owing to its proximity to the deep-water Khalifa Port, and its strategic location at the crossroads between East and West, the project will provide an ideal platform for metal industries to serve the increasing number of construction, infrastructure and industrial development projects in the Middle East and African markets.
Mohamed Al Khadar Al Ahmed, Chief Executive Officer, Kezad Group, said: “As we continue our support for the ambitious Abu Dhabi Industrial Strategy (ADIS), Kezad Group is proud to build upon our specialised economic zones offering with the development of the new Metal Park. Abu Dhabi is currently home to some of the largest primary raw material suppliers in the region, and our aim is that, with the development of this one-stop-shop project, more businesses will be able to look to Kezad as a key location where they can expand their operations and grow their international reach.”
Vahid Fouladkar, CEO, Metal Park, said: “With innovation serving at the core of our offering, the Smart Solution which Metal Park delivers has captured the attention of national and international Industry professionals, who validate the ‘shift’ and advancement that Metal Park aims to facilitate. We began our journey rooted in the ideal foundations of Kezad, and look forward to developing and evolving further to meet the needs of our industry and remaining focused on our mission of shaping challenges into opportunities”
