Al Kabeer to open plant in Jeddah

AL Kabeer Group will establish an SR50-m plant in Saudi Arabia to get the most out of the kingdom's hospitality surge, according to Gulf News. "We thought of doing it in Dubai Industrial City but then we thought [we] might as well do it where the market is," says Ahmad Khan, director of Al Kabeer. "We would meet seasonal demand, especially during hajj [and] throughout the year for Umrah and supply the hotels that have come up with Makkah with ready-made heat-n-serve food." The plant will be located in Jeddah and it will have a capacity of 2,000 tonnes, according to Khan. The company shipped Dhs250m in food products to Saudi Arabia in 2011.Air Jordan 1
