The ELIDZ is an initiative by the South African government to encourage export oriented growth in the country through the attraction of foreign and local investors. The East London IDZ aims to bring economic growth to the region and beyond by offering investors a globally competitive combination of geographic position, infrastructure, services and labour.

Since its inception in September 2002, the East London IDZ has achieved a number of milestones. The Zone now boasts more than 100 fully serviced sites. Adequate supply of electricity, water and other related services ensure full-steam operations for manufacturers that have already settled in the Zone. Road networks and other regional transport linkages allow for speedy access to key markets and on-time delivery of raw materials.

Currently various manufacturers have already taken up the opportunity of settling within one of South Africa's prime industrial estates. These manufacturers span through a variety of sectors including automotive, aquaculture, and transport and logistics. The East London IDZ is currently involved in discussions with a number of other potential investors that want to develop competitive world-class facilities in South Africa.
