Dubai Airport Freezone, was ranked the Top Free Zone in the World by the Financial Times’ fDi Magazine. Dubai Airport Free Zone was established in 1996 as part of Dubai Government’s strategic plan to host foreign investments and facilitate both local and foreign investors’ business opportunities. Located within Dubai International Airport boundaries, the Free Zone is at present hosting over 1300 companies operating in various activities including aviation industry, pharmaceutical products, logistics & freight, jewelries, IT and mobile phones accessories. DAFZ offers its investors a number of incentives ranging from 100 per cent foreign ownership to 100 per cent tax exemption in addition to other incentives.
Given the weather condition in the United Arab Emirates and the increased sensitivity towards reducing energy consumption and CO2 footprint, SurfaPaint ThermoDry Metals and Exteror were used in the DAFZ facilities to protect the complete exterior of a logistics warehouse including exterior walls, the metal roof, and metal rolling entrance. Initial energy measurements indicate that DAFZ has been able to significantly reduce energy costs with a very quick return on investment.
