The location for our company, we prioritized accessibility of the location to domestic dealers, and found that Jebel Ali Free Zone is a more feasible location to access domestic dealers for selling our product locally and reduce the cost of transportation of raw materials and product.

For the finalization process we now proceeded to go through finer details about each free zone, to see which one would facilitate easier product distribution with domestic and international dealers, while keeping transportation and delivery costs at a minimum. Hence the following details were found –

Availability of industrial License and Land Yes Yes
Year of Establishment 1985 2000
Closest Port Incorporated into the FZ-

Jebel Ali Port

Saqr Port – 6 km

Considering the above information, the other aspects such as the company set-up process and laws being almost the same, we came to the conclusion of setting up our company in JAFZA, as it is in Dubai which is considered a commercial hub and can avail our company many local dealers and reduces our cost for acquiring and delivering raw materials and our products to and from local and international sources.
