CEO Foreword
Welcome to Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone!
2010 marks our 10th year in operation, and as we observe this important Anniversary, we celebrate all that we have achieved thus far and look forward to the many exciting developments in store for us. The past couple of years have been challenging ones, but we have emerged from them no worse for the wear. We have proven to ourselves, our clients, our partners and even our competitors that we have the right strategy in place to move forward and continue to develop, no matter what the market throws at us.
Flexibility, creativity and our 360° care approach are the keys to our success. Our clients are our top priority, and it is our mission to ensure that they succeed, by offering affordable custom-built solutions for all their business needs, finding new and better ways to serve them, and helping them to grow and branch out.
As we move forward, we continue to position ourselves as the foremost business hub for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the region, particularly those with an eye to do business in the emerging markets. SMEs are the backbone of any healthy economy, and our processes and exceptional range of value added services are specifically designed to favour that sector. We enable them to sharpen their focus, shorten their incubation period, and immediately generate business, by giving them access to the kind of resources usually only at the disposal of much larger corporations and broad geographical reach, through our expanding network of business centres and international offices.
Over the years, we have received much recognition for our dedication and efforts, including the award for ‘Best Website of a Free Zone or Export Processing Zone’ from The World Free Zone Convention (WFZC). This is a distinction of which we are especially proud, because our website is a reflection of who we are, and in keeping with our reputation for “fast and friendly service”, it aims to offer you a positive interactive experience. Whether you are looking for information about life and work in RAK and the UAE; details on RAK FTZ’s products, simple registration procedures, and value-added services; or the opportunity to interact with RAK FTZ clients and staff on our online forum, you will find it here.
We hope all your interactions with us are as pleasant, informative, and uncomplicated as possible, and we encourage your feedback and comments.
Enjoy your visit!
With kind regards,
Oussama El Omari
RAK Free Trade Zone CEO
