Al Ain Dairy, whose product range includes camel milk, is poised to enter another expansion phase, a senior official says.
The company plans to introduce new lines including ones for yoghurt and will enlarge its depot network in the Northern Emirates of the UAE, said its CEO Abdullah Saif Said Al Darmaki.
Al Ain Dairy’s daily production capacity is 160,000 litres of milk and 50,000 litres of juice.
The company owns three cow farms and one camel farm containing 2,900 cows, 2,400 young stock (non-milking) and 500 camels.
The dairy range includes milk, laban, yoghurts of various kinds, camel milk produced in full fat and low fat and chilled desserts.
It produces juice in a number of flavours.
It recently installed the BactoScan machine, which elevates the bacteria-testing process to the highest worldwide standards. The device will increase quality control which Al Ain stresses is a key factor in its production phases.
Al Ain Dairy says it was the first company in the Gulf to introduce PET for packaging milk and juice ranges. It plans to develop further its long life milk, introduce more juice flavour and re-introduce cheese spread lines.
“We are looking forward to the many opportunities and challenges that the future will hold. The dairy is committed to continually striving for excellence in all aspects of its operations and to setting new standards as a model company in the region,” said Al Darmaki..
