Gaz industry structure in Najafabad County
Adjacent to Isfahan with thyme-rich rangeland, Najafabad hosts linked gaz workshops, semi-industrial lines and honey–propolis refining for honey-based gaz.
Carton and metallised-film suppliers in Montazerieh industrial park cut packaging logistics costs and position additive-free honey gaz as the county signature.

Market, competition & export
Isfahan megabrands compress wholesale share; Rahavard, Khatoun and Mahe Asal scale gift packs and D2C. Ashrafi and Shahdavaran shipments to the UAE, Oman, Iraq, Canada and Germany prove capacity for strict food standards.
Najafabad is Iran’s primary thyme-honey beekeeping hub overlapping confectionery workshops.
Sustained export needs ISO 22000, halal certification and multilingual nutrition panels on semi-industrial lines.

Strategic outlook
A protected “Najafabad honey gaz” mark, relocation into parks 2 and Montazerieh, MAP lines and an export consortium (Ashrafi, Rahavard, Khatoun, Mahe Asal with Shahdavaran) can upgrade the cluster.
