Saudi-based Tanmiah Food Company (TFC) announced a pact with Griffith Foods, a global product development and production company, to expand its operations and reach.
This collaboration will enable TFC to diversify its product portfolio, expand regional distribution, and drive sustainability across the supply chain.
The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the collaboration, which sets the stage for a supply agreement aimed at strengthening product availability and supporting growth in targeted market segments.
Both companies will engage in discussions to align key aspects of the contract, and innovative strategies that leverage Griffith Foods’ expertise in food product development and ingredient systems and Tanmiah’s strong regional market presence, TFC said.
The companies will also explore the establishment of a joint venture in Saudi Arabia which will focus on expanding the market reach by identifying new growth opportunities and developing a comprehensive business strategy to enhance operations and product development capabilities.
A key element of this initiative will be the establishment of a state-of-the-art R&D center in Saudi Arabia, dedicated to food innovation, product formulation and the development of healthier, more sustainable food solutions tailored to regional and global markets.
Innovating Halal food solutions
Recognising the increasing demand for halal food solutions and halal ingredients, as highlighted recently in the Makkah Halal Forum 2025, Tanmiah and Griffith Foods will collaborate to build a strong halal brand in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
To support these strategic initiatives, the companies will assess the feasibility of establishing the first-of-its-kind facility in KSA dedicated to producing 100 per cent halal ingredients, catering to the GCC market.
Amr Al-Dabbagh, Chairman of Tanmiah Food Company, said the strategic partnership with Griffith Foods is a milestone in the company’s growth journey.
“By integrating Griffith Foods’ century-old expertise in product development and innovation with our regional capabilities, we are looking to empower food manufacturers across MENA to create halal, nutritious, authentic, healthy, and sustainable recipes that cater to unique regional tastes,” he said.
Brian Griffith, Chairman of Griffith Foods, said by joining hands with one of the region’s largest food manufacturers, the company is looking forward to bringing new flavours and ingredients conforming to the Halal standard of KSA to the Middle East’s evolving food landscape.
“This collaboration aligns with our aspirations of partnering to create sustainable food system networks, developing nutritious and sustainable food products and creating new markets to serve the underserved,” he said.
