BRF Sadia, one of the largest food companies in the world, has inaugurated its new plant ‘Al Joody’ in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The unit was acquired in January 2021 and received investments of around US$ 18 million, which has increased its monthly production capacity to 1,200 tons of food.
“The expansion of BRF Sadia in the Saudi market to manufacture its products locally is a landmark step which will play an integral role in the growth and development of the poultry industry locally, in the interest of the Saudi consumer,” said Engineer Abdulhamid Bin Mohammed Al-Shawan, regional director of Investment Advisory & Relations.
BRF Sadia’s history in Saudi Arabia began in the mid-1970s, when Sadia was the first company to introduce and democratize frozen chicken products in the Middle East. Currently, BRF Sadia has more than 500 employees in this country.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, BRF Sadia is present in all main countries within the Halal region. Currently, the company has more than 7,500 employees including other production units such as Al Wafi factory in the United Arab Emirates and three Banvit plants in Turkey.
