Why Dubai? A Strategic Choice for Expansion
JASA Packaging has taken a major step in its international growth by establishing a new office in Dubai. The decision to enter the Middle East market is a strategic one, as explained by Peyman Waziri, who is leading the expansion efforts.
“Dubai wasn’t chosen by accident,” Waziri says. Over the past two decades, Dubai has become a global hub for trade and logistics, serving as a gateway to key markets such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait. These countries are increasingly focused on strengthening their food supply chains, importing large quantities of fruits, vegetables, and other food products. This demand aligns perfectly with JASA’s expertise in providing efficient and sustainable packaging solutions, offering significant growth potential.
Sustainability and Innovation: Keys to Success
JASA’s commitment to sustainability and innovation is a core factor driving its success. With the Middle East shifting toward environmentally friendly packaging solutions, JASA is well-positioned to meet the demands of regional governments and industries. Initiatives like the UAE Green Agenda and Saudi Vision 2030 are encouraging businesses to adopt sustainable practices, particularly in sectors like food processing and agriculture.
“Our focus on innovation and sustainability sets us apart,” Waziri emphasizes. JASA’s solutions not only enhance packaging efficiency but also help reduce environmental impact, a growing priority in the region.
Importance of Local Presence
For JASA, establishing a physical presence in Dubai is critical to understanding and responding to the unique needs of the local market. “Being here allows us to work directly with customers, offering personalized support that builds trust,” Waziri explains. This approach is essential in the Middle East, where long-term relationships and personal connections play a significant role in business success.
JASA also collaborates with local partners across the GCC region and Egypt to ensure comprehensive after-sales support, including installation, maintenance, and training. This commitment to customer service ensures that JASA’s clients receive more than just a product—they receive a complete packaging solution, allowing them to focus on their core business operations.
The Future of JASA in the Middle East
Looking ahead, Waziri is optimistic about JASA’s growth prospects in the Middle East. The company has already established a strong foundation by participating in key industry events such as Gulfood Manufacturing and Saudi Agriculture.
As demand for automation and sustainable packaging solutions continues to grow, JASA is well-positioned to expand its presence in the region. “The relationships we build here are based on trust,” Waziri notes. “Over time, our clients come to see us as more than just a supplier—they see us as a trusted partner.”
