Saying goodbye to the old rules of high investment and high threshold in traditional industrial real estate, Abu Dhabi is reconstructing the metal industry chain with a new logic of on-demand growth. The newly launched metal park by Khalifa Economic Zone Group, with a grand scale of 450000 square meters and a total investment of 430 million dirhams, has created an ecosystem that allows enterprises to "go light" - through flexible leasing and shared infrastructure, enterprises can dynamically adjust production capacity according to market fluctuations. This initiative not only benefited the first 27 settled enterprises, but also marked that Abu Dhabi has found an efficient path to reduce industrial access risks and activate the vitality of small and medium-sized enterprises in promoting economic diversification.

The biggest highlight of the "Metal Park" is its pioneering on-demand growth model. This model aims to solve the high initial investment and fixed cost challenges faced by traditional heavy asset industrial projects.

The park allows enterprises to gradually expand or adjust their production scale based on their actual business development stage and market demand by providing flexible leased factory space, shared core production infrastructure (such as electricity, water treatment, environmental protection facilities), and centralized professional services. This model greatly reduces the upfront capital pressure and investment risks for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises and new entrants.

In addition to flexible business models, the park also provides two key advantages for enterprises:

Shared infrastructure and services: The park is equipped with various types of heavy equipment, warehousing facilities, and technical service centers that can be shared by enterprises, avoiding duplicate investments and achieving resource intensive utilization.

Seamless logistics system: Relying on the integrated operation network of Khalifa Economic Zone Group and Abu Dhabi Ports Group, the park can provide efficient logistics solutions for settled enterprises from raw material import, production and manufacturing to finished product export. This ensures the smoothness of the supply chain and significantly improves the overall operational efficiency from the workshop to the port.
