Agreement
Signed to Establish Mattress Manufacturing Facility in Sohar Freezone

Muscat,
2 Jul (ONA) — SOHAR Port and Freezone has signed a land lease agreement with
Sweet Night Fine Home (FZC) LLC to establish a mattress manufacturing facility
in SOHAR Freezone.

This
investment reinforces SOHAR’s role in driving industrial diversification and
sets the foundation for clustering opportunities within the home and comfort
manufacturing sector. The project also advances integration into global supply
chains, with the potential to localize sourcing and strengthen regional value
chains in the long term.

The
factory will cover an area of 96,000 square meters, with a total investment of
USD 70 million. It is designed to produce up to three million mattresses
annually, with an initial export focus on the United States, followed by
expansion into GCC markets, India, the European Union, and the local market in
Oman. Raw materials will be sourced from China, Thailand, Japan, and Korea,
enabling the company to manufacture high-quality sleep products for
international markets from a single strategic base in SOHAR.

Johnson
Lim, General Manager of Sweet Night Fine Home’s upcoming factory in SOHAR
Freezone commented, “Our decision to invest in SOHAR Freezone was driven by its
unmatched location, efficiency, and long-term potential as a regional
manufacturing hub. This investment marks a crucial step in our regional
expansion, and SOHAR Freezone provides the ideal environment to support our
manufacturing ambitions.”

“We’re
proud to welcome Sweet Night Fine Home (FZC) LLC to SOHAR Freezone as part of
our expanding base of international manufacturers,” said Mohammed Al Shizawi,
Acting CEO of SOHAR Freezone. “At SOHAR, we focus on attracting investments
that drive economic growth and introduce new industrial capabilities. This
project underscores the strength of our integrated logistics ecosystem and
supports our efforts to build a diversified, resilient industrial base aligned
with Oman Vision 2040.”

The
establishment of this manufacturing hub is expected to stimulate the local
value chain by attracting complementary industries such as textiles, packaging,
and logistics, thereby fostering the development of a specialized
sleep-products ecosystem within the freezone. SOHAR Freezone reaffirms its role
as a catalyst for sustainable industrial development and a key player in global
supply chain diversification.
