Honeywell and QFZ Partner for Integrated Manufacturing Hub

Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) and Honeywell Technologies have formed a strategic partnership to establish an integrated manufacturing and service hub in Qatar's free zones. The collaboration aims to advance local capabilities across mission-critical industries, such as energy and process.

The memorandum of understanding was signed by QFZ CEO Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Faisal Al-Thani and Honeywell Technologies Vice-President Matt Spalding on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum: UNGA Special Edition 2026 in New York. The hub will focus on machining and servicing Honeywell Sundyne pumps used across energy and process industries, supporting customers in Qatar, the Middle East, and Africa.

The partnership creates opportunities for wider cooperation across Honeywell's portfolio, including process technology, automation, cybersecurity, and building automation solutions. QFZ said the collaboration will further support ecosystem development by encouraging relevant partners and suppliers to explore opportunities to establish their presence in QFZ.
