Industry Minister inaugurates Bahrain Electromechanical Refrigeration Equipment Technology (BRET) Factory
There was Cao Junfeng, CEO of BRET, and Ni Ruchi, the People’s Republic of China’s ambassador to Bahrain.
According to Minister Fakhro, the factory’s opening is a reflection of Bahrain’s competitive location and appealing investment climate, as well as its ongoing support for the industrial sector and dedication to fortifying alliances with both domestic and foreign enterprises. He pointed out that this project is a recent addition that shows investors’ faith in the country’s economic foundations and shows the industrial sector’s ongoing expansion as a crucial pillar in the process of economic diversification.
In accordance with the goals of the Industrial Sector Strategy (2022–2026), the Minister reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to continuing to support various industrial projects and provide the facilities required to improve the Kingdom’s competitiveness on the regional and international investment map.
For his part, Junfeng emphasized that Bahrain’s advantageous location, cutting-edge infrastructure, and encouraging business climate were the main factors in the decision to build this factory there. According to him, the facility will be the main starting point for providing high-performance, energy-efficient cooling solutions to the Gulf and Middle Eastern markets.
The 5,000 square meter factory is a regional center for manufacturing high-capacity freezing and cooling equipment, such as ultra-low-temperature freezers, fresh-keeping cabinets, meat display units, and beverage chillers, to satisfy the demands of the food service, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and residential industries.
Three phases of integrated implementation and operation are now underway for the project. With a manufacturing capability of up to 200 units per day, the initial step entails setting up the facility and starting distribution in the local market before exporting to the GCC nations. By using more effective manufacturing techniques and improving service and logistics systems, the second phase increases production capacity to 400–600 units per day and acts as a transitional step for expansion in the GCC and Middle Eastern markets.
In the third phase, the company wants to increase exports from the Kingdom to international markets, with a particular emphasis on the European and American markets. It also wants to upgrade manufacturing processes by utilizing machines and technologies that use artificial intelligence applications, and it wants to increase the factory’s capacity to advanced levels.
