GMG eyes global expansion, launches four food manufacturing units

UAE-based retailer GMG launched four new factories to produce value-added food products. The UAE-based conglomerate also announced its global expansion plans for six of its food brands, aiming to reach international markets across four continents over the next five years, making UAE an exporter of value-added food products. It will also help strengthen the country’s global standing as a food exporter. Each of the three food processing factories in GMG’s Dubai Investments Park (DIP) facility has an installed capacity of approximately 9,000 metric tonnes per annum in addition to its existing capacity, taking the site’s combined installed capacity to approximately 35,000 metric tonnes per annum. The company’s fourth new factory has a capacity of 11,000 metric tonnes of herbs and spices, which includes processing mono spices in whole form, crushed form, powder, and blended spices. The DIP facility includes various manufacturing capabilities, from butchery to meat, poultry and seafood items. Collectively, these factories rank among the largest food production facilities in the UAE. Its herbs and spices factory in JAFZA includes processing mono spices in whole form, crushed and powdered, as well as blended spices. The herbs and spices will be sold under both the ‘Sapora’ and ‘RUH’ brand names.
