Universal Islamic Food Industries (UIFI), a Kuwait-based group of companies, has set up a new manufacturing unit in Ras Al Khaimah for production of processed food.
The facility, involving an investment of around AED150 million, is spread over a 350,000 sq ft area and is located in the Al Hamra Industrial Zone of the emirate.
The new facility is aimed at meeting the soaring demands of the regional consumer market.
The facility will produce an additional 3,000 tons of processed food monthly, which significantly exceeds the expected capacity of the ready-to-eat poultry, meat, and seafood products.
Staying abreast with modern trends and requirements, the operations at the new facility will encompass advanced manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and storage facilities, setting a new benchmark in the processed food industry.
Ayoob Khan, CEO of Universal Islamic Food Industries said the decision to establish the company’s operations in Ras Al Khaimah was a strategic one, deeply influenced by the region’s burgeoning status as a business hub.
“The strategic geographic location of Ras Al Khaimah and the comprehensive support from RAKEZ align perfectly with our dedication to quality and excellence,” Khan said.
RAKEZ Group CEO Ramy Jallad said the move by Universal Islamic Food Industries marks a significant milestone in the free zone’s strategic efforts to bolster the food and beverages sector in Ras Al Khaimah.
“Their investment demonstrates the growing appeal of RAKEZ as a dynamic and supportive hub for manufacturing, especially in the food and beverage industry,” Jallad said.
