New Metal Park breaks ground at KEZAD

The groundbreaking ceremony of Metal Park Investment ME’s integrated Metal Park was held in Abu Dhabi recently.

Covering a total land area of 450,000 square metres in KEZAD, the upcoming Metal Park, will be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to 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.

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, CEO, Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi – 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, “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.”

In addition to industry-related infrastructure, the upcoming Metal Park will offer customers a unique solution featuring production planning capabilities, easy entry, and exit policies, and access to finance and human resources services.
