Nutridor, a leading food and beverage (F&B) company under TGI Group, announced the launch of a new dairy production facility in Dubai to further expand the production of its products under the ‘Abevia’ brand.
The new facility, set up at Dubai Industrial City with an investment of AED75 million, will help Nutridor to double Abevia’s production capacity to 120,000 litres of milk a day, the company said in a media statement.
The factory will help to deliver value-added dairy products, supporting Nutridor’s goal of reducing import reliance and enhancing its position in the regional F&B sector, it added.
Nutridor estimates revenues of AED110 million from the factory’s operations.
Nutridor’s vision for product growth
Sankha Biswas, CEO of Nutridor said the new facility represents a pivotal juncture for Nutridor and Abevia as it will enable it to manufacture the products locally and fulfill the region’s burgeoning demand for high-quality dairy products.
“The UAE has a growing population with an increasing demand for high-quality food products, and we stand as flag bearers for the ‘Make it in Emirates’ initiative,” Biswas said.
He said Abevia is dedicated to meeting the highest standards of quality and safety for its products, adhering to the rigorous standards set by Nutridor, the Dubai Municipality, and the UAE government.
“We will seek to continually grow and expand our product offerings,” Biswas added.
Saud Abu Alshawareb, Executive Vice President of Industrial at TECOM Group PJSC, said localising manufacturing activity in the F&B sector is paramount as economic and ecological conditions evolve around the world.
“It is a critical lever to unlock enhanced food security, economic growth, and positive environmental impact at a global scale.
“Nutridor’s factory at Dubai Industrial City is a strategic move towards self-sufficiency in the F&B sector and its geographically strategic location within our district will help to unlock greater nutrition security for local and regional populations, aligning with the goals of the UAE’s National Food Security Strategy 2051,” he said.
Nutridor has a vast network of operations in the Middle East and Africa region, with customers in over 15 countries, including the GCC nations, Jordan, Lebanon, Angola, Gambia, Ghana, and Senegal.
The new Abevia factory at Dubai Industrial City will create over 200 new direct and indirect jobs, underscoring the commitment to nurturing Emirati talent and contributing to D33’s overarching objectives of economic expansion and diversification, the company said.
Dubai Industrial City is part of TECOM Group’s portfolio of 10 business districts, including Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Studio City and Dubai Production City.
