- ETL is a California-based company that produces eco-friendly showerheads and wants to expand into the Dubai market due to the city's growing population, water restrictions, and favorable business conditions. - Dubai has a hot, arid climate with scarce water resources, creating demand for water-saving products. The city also has a well-developed infrastructure and is becoming a tourism and trade center. - ETL plans to open a representative office in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone to import and distribute its showerheads manufactured in China. It will employ a mix of local and expatriate staff to serve the Dubai market.
