Hamriyah Free Zone Authority (HFZA) participated in the Automation Expo 2016 - India's biggest and South East Asia's second-largest automation show - which concluded at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai.
The 11th Automation Expo attracted over 850 exhibitors and over 42,000 visitors. The four-day exhibition showcased innovations from the field of robotics, automation, automation systems and automation technology.

"The event which showcased futuristic technologies and innovation was an excellent platform for us to network with entrepreneurs and decision makers from various industries such as oil and gas, automobiles, pharmaceutical, food processing, fertilisers and chemicals, cement, glass, OEMs, electrical and electronics and many other automation technology and solutions providers," said Saud Salim Al Mazroui, director of HFZA and Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (Saif Zone).

"We offer the best infrastructure facilities and excellent services to welcome foreign investment into various sectors such as automation, manufacturing, trade and services," he said.

He said HFZA has registered a record number of manufacturing facilities during the last three years and the free zone now has 324 manufacturing units, including steel fabrication and other manufacturing units.

"India's automation industry is rapidly growing due to the adoption of newer technologies and HFZA is the best hub for companies to get quick access to over two billion customers," Al Mazroui added.

"We have highlighted HFZA's advantages to Indian companies and our booth stirred great interest among hundreds of investors and businessmen," said Ali Al Jarwan, deputy commercial director who represented HFZA at the Automation Expo.
