MUSCAT – The agreement, signed between Salalah Global City Company (one of the companies operating in the zone) and the Chinese company ‘Jiangsu Changhong Intelligent Equipment’ (specialising in the manufacture of car production and assembly lines), reflects the confidence of international companies in the investment environment that characterizes the Wilayat of Salalah. This is due to its advanced infrastructure, strategic location connected to ports and regional markets, as well as the incentives and facilities it provides to investors in various industrial sectors.
‘Jiangsu Changhong Intelligent Equipment’ is considered one of the most prominent Chinese companies in the smart systems industry for industrial equipment and car production lines. It has a proven track record of cooperation with major global brands such as ‘BMW’, ‘Volkswagen’, ‘Jaguar Land Rover’, ‘Ford’, and ‘BYD’, in addition to over 30 years of experience in establishing integrated car factories worldwide.
These projects align with the national direction to establish an integrated industrial system for electric vehicles, which enhances Salalah’s position as an industrial and logistics hub, supports the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, and is in synergy with the Sultanate of Oman’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and achieve Net-Zero by 2050.
