Advantages and Benefits

The IMPZ initiative is designed to bring a wide range of advantages and benefits, and key among them are.

Tax exemption: As with other free zones in Dubai, companies joining IMPZ can avail of 100 per cent ownership, and will be exempt from almost all corporate and personal taxes including those for machinery, equipment, raw materials and spares utilized by the industry. Furthermore, rules governing media production have been simplified to provide maximum ease of operations.

Networking and shared services: Dubai favors the concept of creating a cluster of similar businesses in physical proximity, and its strategic advantages have been well proven. Co-existing at a single location will enable print companies to coordinate production activities efficiently with feeder companies like machinery and equipment providers and suppliers of raw materials and spares. For small and medium-sized businesses, the time and costs involved in sourcing requirements will be considerably reduced, as they can avail of several shared services.

Eco-friendly environment: IMPZ will deploy and promote eco-friendly industrial environments, where tested concepts and practices will be adopted to recycle waste and enable companies to utilize each others’ by-products instead of disposing them as waste. Renewable energy sources will be included in the site’s infrastructure to guarantee reliable and clean power.

Ideal location: Situated on the Emirates Road, in close proximity to the Jebel Ali port and the recently announced world’s largest airport, IMPZ’s strategic location will considerably ease imports, exports and logistics operations. The new airport, when completed, will have a handling capacity of about 120 million passengers annually along with 12 million tones of cargo.

As for the location of Dubai at the crossroads of Asia, Europe and Africa, and with its enviable proximity to multiple markets, the city has already proven its mettle as a central hub for various international operations.
