Not content with leading the Gulf’s biggest privately owned beverage company, the chairman of the firm has been growing his offerings to different markets. Aujan’s juice brand, Rani, is Iran’s best-selling beverage and is planning to add to its three factories by putting a facility in Iraq, politics permitting. In 2008, Aujan Industries nailed a target to deliver $500m in revenue twelve months ahead of its five-year schedule, and is now working towards $1bn in revenue by 2012.
