Industrial

One of the key sectors identified by the government as part of its economic diversification drive is manufacturing. Moves to open industrial cities to greater private ownership, along with growing investment in SEZs, are already having a significant impact. Chemical and refined petrochemical products comprise a significant portion of Oman's industrial output, and their contribution to GDP steadily increases.

SASLO’s head office is in Muscat, but the firm has the capability to respond rapidly to the legal needs of its clients anywhere in the Sultanate of Oman through its offices in Salalah and Sohar, the two most active and dynamic industrial and economic hubs of the south and north of the Sultanate respectively.
