REQUIREMENTS

Al Fanar Gas Group, established in 1990 in Abu Dhabi and a part of Ethmar International Holding, specializes in distributing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG), and Natural Gas (NG). With a broad spectrum of consumer groups including real estate developers, industrial manufacturers, healthcare providers, educational institutions, and hospitality service providers, Al Fanar faced the challenge of expanding its operations in the GCC region, navigating different regulations and market access issues in countries like Oman, KSA, and Bahrain.

This approach was aimed at resolving market access challenges and adapting to local legislation and technologies for gas distribution. The company also focused on leveraging its strategic location in Abu Dhabi and its strong presence in KEZAD, which offered quick logistics, cost-efficiency, and scalability, further bolstering its expansion efforts.
