The official announcement described KERNO Enterprises as the first manufacturer of enterprise IT hardware in the The public record does not yet include an independent comparison with other local hardware manufacturing capacity, so the claim remains tied to the official source.
The company is locating both its headquarters and manufacturing facility at Dubai Silicon Oasis, where it says it will design, develop and produce secure technology solutions locally.
Dubai officials linked the project to technological sovereignty, advanced-industry localisation and resilient digital infrastructure for artificial intelligence and wider enterprise computing needs.

DSOA said the plant turns broad digital-infrastructure policy into a named manufacturing asset: a UAE-based enterprise IT hardware facility, a headquarters for KERNO, production lines for AI servers and storage, and capacity above 60,000 technology products a year.
