QFZA to host Qatar’s first laptop manufacturing facility

Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) announced yesterday the establishment of a state-of-the-art production facility in Umm Alhoul Free Zone, built by a partnership between iLife Digital, a leading intelligent robotics and electronics company based in Florida, US, and Prime Technologies, a subsidiary of Ali Bin Ali Holding.

iLife and Prime Technologies will use the 2,500 sqm factory to create innovative iLife-branded electronic devices, including laptops, PCs, smart watches and mobile phones, among others. The new space will help meet the growing demand for affordable electronic projects in the MENA region, and is the latest of many partnerships QFZs have orchestrated with the private sector. Production at the factory is expected to begin in August 2021, and will produce up to 350,000 electronics a year.
