Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi (KEZAD Group) has signed five new industrial and logistics projects across KEZAD Al Ain and KEZAD Al Ma’mourah in Abu Dhabi, strengthening its role as a leading industrial and trade hub.
The combined investment of $39.7 million (AED 147 million) covers over 84,000 square meters and is expected to generate 500 jobs.
The new projects include Haber/Elixir, which will establish an oilfield chemicals blending facility; Grand Line Industries, set to develop a car cleaning products manufacturing plant; and Precent Enterprises Metals Coating, which will create a metal forming and coating facility.
Additionally, Unibal Group Investment will launch its second industrial and logistics warehousing project in Abu Dhabi and its first project in KEZAD Al Ain, named Unibal Park II. Al Lul Transport & General Contracting will develop a major industrial and logistics warehousing project in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah.
These latest agreements build on KEZAD’s strong performance in 2025, when the operator reached 73.6 square kilometers of leased land, including 3.3 square kilometers of net new leases, with 67 percent dedicated to industrial and manufacturing activities.
The broader Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster of AD Ports Group, which includes KEZAD, recorded $776 million (AED 2.87 billion) in revenue in 2025, reflecting a 45 percent increase compared to the previous year.

“These new projects reflect steady demand for industrial and logistics assets that support real economic activity in Abu Dhabi. The combined scale of investment, the diversity of sectors involved, and the 500 jobs these projects are expected to create are the highlights of these projects. This is the kind of growth that strengthens Abu Dhabi’s industrial base in practical terms, adding production capability, warehousing capacity, and long-term value across the wider trade ecosystem.”
Of the five projects, four are located in KEZAD Al Ain, representing more than 37,400 square meters, $12.7 million (AED 47 million) in investment, and 200 jobs.
The fifth project, in KEZAD Al Ma’mourah, spans over 46,500 square meters with $27 million (AED 100 million) in investment and 300 jobs, making it the largest of the five in both scale and employment.
The agreements underscore KEZAD’s continued appeal for businesses seeking ready-to-use, connected, and growth-oriented infrastructure. From specialist chemicals and metal processing to logistics and warehousing, the new projects enhance KEZAD’s industrial offering and reinforce its role in enabling investors to scale with confidence in Abu Dhabi.
In 2025, the Economic Cities & Free Zones cluster delivered 146,000 square meters of new warehouse capacity while maintaining a 91 percent occupancy rate.
KEZAD also expanded specialized hubs such as Metal Park, Rahayel Auto and Mobility City, Agtech Park, and Abu Dhabi Food Hub, broadening its presence across key industrial sectors.
