Qatar will soon have its first state-of-the-art laptop manufacturing facility, the Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZA) revealed yesterday.
The 2,500 square meter factory in Umm Alhoul Free Zone is being developed under a partnership between leading US electronic company iLife Digital and Prime Technologies, which is a subsidiary of Ali Bin Ali Holding.
According to QFZA, the facility will be used to create innovative iLife branded electronic devices such as laptops, PCs, smart watches and mobile phones, in addition to other items.
Production at the facility is expected to commence in August this year. Some 35,000 electronics are anticipated to be produced at the facility per year.
