locations able to offer low
power costs are well placed
to compete on a global level.
COMPETITIVE
Consumption of aluminium on a global level
has been increasing consistently, reaching
23.5 million tonnes in 2009. The Middle East
market has been increasing significantly in
response to demand from the manufacturing,
aerospace, transport and construction sectors.
The Kizad Aluminium Cluster is anchored by
Emal’s smelter, which will be the largest single
site smelter in the world. Downstream Kizad
is targeting rolling mills, extrusions, castings,
forgings and other downstream manufacturers
in areas such as construction, transportation,
packaging and engineered metal products.
Additionally, Kizad is consulting potential
tenants about their requirements for service
suppliers such as dross recyclers that require
easy access to a smelter.
The Hot Metal Road will cut re-melting costs
for midstream producers, while the proximity of
downstream producers and service suppliers
will generate business and operational
efficiencies which, supported by the low utility
costs available at Kizad, will offer all aluminium
companies the opportunity to be highly
competitive in the market place.

Steel/
Strong local demand and
Abu Dhabi’s low utility costs
combine to create highly
attractive opportunities
for primary steel
manufacturing companies.
EFFICIENT
Steel manufacturers in the Middle East need to
be based close to port facilities to enable the
import of raw materials. With the Middle East
currently importing much of its steel, strong
local demand and Abu Dhabi’s low utility costs
combine to create a highly attractive
opportunity for a primary steel manufacturing
company to establish at Kizad. Adjacent to the
most advanced port in the region with potential
for a conveyor to bring raw materials from
port to plant, Kizad is well positioned to host
a steel industry cluster based around a major
steel producer.
Kizad’s vertically integrated Steel Cluster
is expected to centre on an anchor tenant
operating upstream plants such as DRI
production and Electric Arc Furnace melt shops.
These are expected to produce slab, bloom,
billets and strip steel. The cluster will also
include rolling mills, producing rebar, beams,
sheet steel, and downstream manufacturers
and service providers, all of which will benefit
from close proximity to each other. Downstream
manufacturers in the engineered metal
products sector will enjoy the same advantage.

unprecedented levels of business efficiency,
profitability and sustainability.
Kizad’s Engineered Metals Cluster brings
together basic producers in the Aluminium,
Steel and Petrochemicals/Chemicals Clusters
together with downstream metals
manufacturers, in a single integrated
environment. It will also play host to service
providers, such as laboratories and testing
facilities, and industrial gas suppliers, that all
benefit from working closely with one another.
For an industry with potentially high power
requirements, Abu Dhabi’s low utility costs
create a significant business advantage,
helping to reduce overheads and boost profits
for resident businesses.
While not a true vertically integrated cluster,
the close proximity of downstream producers
and service suppliers will generate business
efficiencies which, supported by the low utility

With petrochemical and chemical
manufacturing processes tending to be energy

oil and gas industries, locations able to offer
feedstocks and low utility costs are well
positioned to compete on a global level.
The petrochemicals industry in the Middle East
is projected to continue growing slightly ahead

It is a market which responds to the economic
health of the region and profitability springs

PHARMACEUTICALS AND

Abu Dhabi’s focus on health

EXPANDING
Abu Dhabi’s focus on health which drives its
interest in the pharmaceutical and healthcare
equipment industries, are laid out in Abu Dhabi
Economic Vision 2030.The Emirates’ high
population growth is another driver which
should encourage pharmaceutical and
healthcare equipment companies to consider
setting up in Kizad.
Pharmaceutical sales in the UAE exceeded
US $1 billion in 2009, while the GCC market was
valued at over US$8 billion. Forecasts suggest
that this will grow between 4 and 5% annually.
Pharmaceuticals is a key industry for the GCC,
which has specific health issues and rising
demand for new and better treatments.
The ability to develop and manufacture these
locally, will offer companies a significant
advantage compared to the cost of importing,
and is an industry sector keenly supported
by the Abu Dhabi Government. Pharmaceutical

the ability to develop and
manufacture food products
locally will offer companies
a significant advantage
compared to the cost of

APPETISING
Seen as a key enabling industry in the
Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, the market
for food products is also driven by the
Emirate’s high population growth. The UAE
food market exceeded US $4 billion in 2009,
with forecasts suggesting that it will grow
between 4 and 5% annually driven partially
by rising domestic incomes.
Food is a key industry for the GCC, which
imports a large proportion of both staple and
processed goods. The ability to develop and
manufacture these locally will offer companies
a significant advantage compared to the cost
of importing, and is an industry sector keenly
supported by the Abu Dhabi Government.
Food manufacturers will find in Kizad an
environment focused on meeting the demands
of a modern industry with attractive options
for upstream, midstream and downstream
producers. Low cost utilities, excellent
transportation and road access to local and
regional markets, present a compelling case
for food producers to invest in Kizad.

for the sector.
The Kizad Paper Cluster is expected to be

industries in the Zone is moving ahead.
A Warehouse and Logistics Park is being
developed in Kizad’s Area A for logistics units.
It comprises pre-built warehouses and leased
land plots for occupiers and third party
logistics providers to build their own facilities.
The idea behind this project is to provide
warehouses that meet the requirements of
storage, cargo and other logistical operators
within Kizad.
Investors will be able to lease land plots ranging
in size from 15,000 sq m to 500,000 sq m within
the 2.1 sq km Logistics Cluster in Area A.
The total land area allocated for pre-built
warehouses is 400,000 sq m. Development
of the warehouses is planned in two phases.
The first phase will comprise 100,000 sq m of
prebuilt warehouses with a mixture of modular
units from 1,000 sq m. Each unit will provide for
10% of office content. The warehouses,
to be developed will have a design efficiency
of 90% and will be fitted with air-conditioned
units and loading docks.
An investor planning to build his own
warehouse and logistics facility will be granted
a long-term Land Agreement; whereas an
investor interested in prebuilt facilities, both
standard and bespoke, will be entitled to enter
a long-term Lease Agreement.

MIXED USE AND OTHER INDUSTRIES/
Smaller clusters or industries
that do not fit the standard
vertically integrated cluster
definition can still take
advantage of Kizad’s benefits.
ACCOMMODATING
Of course not all industries that seek to take
advantage of Kizad’s key benefits; access to
markets, low cost utilities and ease of doing
business will fit into the clusters described
previously. For this reason Kizad has a Mixed
Use Cluster which can house businesses from
a variety of industries and still offer
unprecedented value.
Smaller clusters or industries which Kizad
targets under the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision
2030, but do not fit the standard vertically
integrated cluster definition, may also be
placed in the Mixed Use Cluster or close
to other customers or suppliers.
The industries which have been identified
in this respect so far are as follows:
— Glass
— Oilfield Equipment and Supplies
— Non Ferrous Metals
— High Technology and Clean Technology
— Construction Materials and Equipment

ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
AND SUSTAINABILITY/
Kizad’s commitment to
environmental stewardship
goes far beyond the borders
of the industrial zone.
SAFEGUARDING THE FUTURE
Delivering an industrial zone that fuels
Abu Dhabi’s economic engine and establishes
it as a source of pride for the nation is the
ultimate objective. In achieving this, however,
we are determined to minimise the local
environmental impact.
Kizad’s approach involves a Sustainability Plan
to integrate sound practices and environmental
protection into the Industrial Zone’s operation
in order to preserve the quality and integrity
of the environment both within and beyond
the Zone. Kizad will uphold environmental
protection standards by working with all
customers to ensure responsible
environmental initiatives, technologies,
processes and practices are implemented
throughout the Industrial Zone.
An integrated waste management system and
strategy for the provision of efficient, safe,
and commercially profitable waste disposal
is planned. The initiative will involve recycling
operations and services that are designed to
the highest environmental standards, improving
the efficiency of municipal, industrial and
hazardous waste.
These initiatives are exemplified by the design
of Khalifa Port, which won ‘The Environment
Protection Award’ in the Seatrade Middle East
and Indian Subcontinent Awards 2010.
This was awarded for efforts to protect the
Ras Ghanada corals and marine ecosystem,
and the construction of a US$ 240 million
environmental breakwater to further protect
marine life. One of a number of awards, this
signifies the commitment to environmental
stewardship by going far beyond the borders
of the Industrial Zone.
