Be’ah Unveils Industrial Investment Opportunities: Key Insights for Investors and Entrepreneurs in Oman
MUSCAT: Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (be’ah) has unveiled a new industrial investment package aimed at bolstering Oman’s manufacturing sector, reducing reliance on imports, and enhancing the resilience of local supply chains. This initiative is part of broader efforts to diversify the economy and promote industrial localisation.
Launched under the national drive led by the Oman Investment Authority, the package targets both domestic and international investors for specialised manufacturing in sectors related to environmental services, healthcare, and infrastructure development.
be’ah emphasized that these opportunities support the country’s goal of building a strong industrial ecosystem, increasing In-Country Value (ICV), and fostering sustainable economic growth.
A centerpiece of the initiative is the establishment of a manufacturing facility for geosynthetic materials in Oman. These polymer-based products are essential in landfill engineering, environmental protection, transportation infrastructure, mining, water management, and oil and gas projects. Currently, Oman imports a substantial share of these materials, facing risks from supply chain disruptions, fluctuating prices, and extended procurement timelines.
The new local facility will produce key products such as geotextiles, HDPE geomembranes, geonets, and geogrids, all meeting international quality standards. These are critical for landfill liners, roads and railway construction, coastal protection, and environmental containment efforts.
be’ah highlighted strong investment potential due to rising local demand driven by infrastructure and environmental projects, limited existing production capacity, and promising export opportunities to GCC countries, India, and East Africa.
In addition, be’ah is inviting investment for a specialised manufacturing plant to produce healthcare waste disposal containers. This project focuses on producing disposable bins of various sizes designed for the safe collection and segregation of hazardous medical waste, including sharps and infectious materials.
The healthcare waste management sector is expanding rapidly amid increased healthcare services and tighter safety regulations. The facility will manufacture sharps containers and bins in 60-litre, 80-litre, and 120-litre capacities, compliant with WHO guidelines, UN3291, and ISO 23907 standards.
This venture aims to enhance Oman’s healthcare and environmental goals by boosting domestic production, securing supply chains, and reducing import dependence. It also aligns with Rawabt and Oman’s broader ICV framework.
The announcement underscores growing momentum in Oman’s industrial localisation strategy, as the nation advances its development of key manufacturing capabilities tied to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and infrastructure growth.
be’ah has called on qualified investors and companies to submit expressions of interest, highlighting Oman’s status as a stable and attractive investment environment supported by expanding industrial demand and long-term development plans.
