Delta Food Industries, a leading food and beverage manufacturing company in the UAE, has opened a Dh40 million ($10.89 million) dairy plant in the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF Zone).

Shiraz Osman, founder and chairman of Delta Food Industries, said: “The new plant will manufacture evaporated milk and cream. The production machinery is the latest available in the industry and it is capable of producing 250,000 cartons per month of evaporated milk and cream.”

“We are capitalising on the first four years of operation inside the SAIF Zone, with our latest initiative, the dairy plant, which will see the enhancement of capacities as well as the range of products,” he said.

“Currently, we are the second largest food manufacturing company in the UAE,” he added.
 
Saud Salim Al Mazrouei, director of SAIF Zone and Hamriyah Free Zone Authority, said: “We welcome Delta Food Industries’ new initiative. It is pleasing to see more manufacturing units flocking to SAIF Zone, which is surely a sign that we are progressing.”

“I hope that this initiative will enable Delta Food to offer its products locally and regionally and expand its network,” he said.

For the last four years, Delta Food Industries has been manufacturing tomato paste, tomato ketchup, hot sauce, milk powder, custard powder, oats, to name a few.   

The company has a strong distribution network across 20 countries in GCC, Middle East and the African region.
