“Tamkeen” supports Amalfi factory’s global expansion to increase production capacity, employment and exports

The Labour Fund “Tamkeen”, announced its support for Amalfi Foods, a Bahrain-based factory specialized in baked goods and confectionary products, for the purpose of establishing a new production line to triple their factory output, and expanding their exports and presence in the region. This will in turn increase employment from 33 to approximately 70 individuals.

This comes in line with the government-led economic recovery plan and Tamkeen’s strategic direction to incentivize high potential sectors and help boost private sector productivity, export potential, and expansion.

This support will help Amalfi Foods establish a new production line that will triple the production of fully made in Bahrain pancakes. These pancakes then make their way to the shelves of most supermarkets in Bahrain as well as across borders to KSA, UAE and Kuwait. Amalfi Foods are currently exporting 95% of their production and with this expansion will be able to reach more markets and increase their presence in the region. They are also planning to increase their export activities to cover the MENA region and then potentially export globally.

On this occasion, Tamkeen’s Chief Executive, His Excellency Husain Mohamed Rajab emphasized the importance of supporting the manufacturing sector, which includes food manufacturing ventures in Bahrain with
