Sai Flavours reconfirms Ras Al Khaimah as its growth partner of
choice by investing close to AED 4 million on expansion
Ras Al Khaimah, 29 December 2022: Sai Flavours, a major food-ingredient
manufacturing company based in Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) since
2012, has announced plans to expand further with an investment of nearly AED 4
million. This will boost its production capacity to meet growing demand from the
snack and meat processing companies in the Middle Eastern and African countries.
After leasing additional warehouse space, its facility now spreads to almost 5,000
m 2 .
The company has grown 10-fold since their set-up in 2012 in Al Hamra Industrial
Zone, supplying seasoning spices and food flavours to the large local and regional
food-processing industries in the UAE, Oman, Jordan, Senegal and Nigeria. Some
of the major local companies that source Sai Flavour’s products include, Al Kabeer
Group, Seara Middle East, National Food Industry, and Global Food Industries,
among others. This move firmly aligns the company goals with that of the UAE’s
Food Security priorities.
Director of Sai Flavours Mamta Khatri said, “Along with the expansion, we are also
increasing our workforce and launching some exciting products, such as meat
blends and flavours for the meat processing segment. We will also be introducing
retail packets for the FMCG sector and add these products to our online stores.”
Commenting on the company’s upward journey, Khatri added, “RAKEZ has played
a major role in supporting the growth of our company over the past 10 years. The
strong food cluster and supply chain locally, coupled with fantastic leasing rates, as
well as excellent customer service from RAKEZ, really supported our growth. We
have been with the organisation for a decade now and have seen how they go the
extra mile to assist their clients, irrespective of the company size.”
Ramy Jallad, Group CEO of RAKEZ, shared, “Sai Flavours’ expansion is a
reflection of the larger Ras Al Khaimah food-sector growth story. Our food cluster at
RAKEZ consists of an ecosystem of hundreds of F&B companies that are working
to meet regional and international demand, creating a more sustainable and
localised food value chain in the UAE. RAKEZ continually supports the organic
growth of producers in the F&B sector, which constitutes one of our strong core
industries.”
