Mazola, one of the pioneers of healthy and quality food products across the Gulf, held a special gala dinner for their partners and distributors at The Palace Hotel in Dubai. The dinner coincided with the Companies participation at Gulfood 2016 – the world’s largest annual food and hospitality show in Dubai – that was concluded last Thursday.
The gala dinner is part of Mazola’s annual calendar during Gulfood, which brings all of its leading distributors across geographies on a common platform and hosted by Abdullah Saeed Binzagr, Chairman of Basateen Foods Saudi Arabia the trademark owners of the Mazola brand for the Middle East & North Africa, who also handed over various awards to Mazola distributors.
Binzagr said: “Mazola has a strategic expansion plan in place which reflects the company’s commitment to increase volumes through Mazola’s growing brand share, new product development and geographic expansion into new markets. This will help the company achieve even better business results and further enhance its share and position across the markets where it operates.”
Simon Gottfried, Vice President of Sales and Marketing – Middle East & North Africa of Basateen Foods Saudi Arabia, also encapsulated the company’s growth plans in 2016. “Mazola has a strategic expansion plan in place which reflects the company’s commitment to increase volumes through Mazola’s growing brand share, new product development and geographic expansion into new markets. The company is on a threshold of an aggressive growth, and an even exciting period ahead in which we plan to offer even more consumers the opportunity to appreciate and enjoy the quality of Mazola products.”
“Mazola’s phenomenal growth in sales and distribution is due to the active support of the company’s partners. The gala dinner during Gulfood offers a great opportunity to network with the company’s partners and discuss the company’s future sales and distribution plans, as well as product development” Gottfried added.
Mrs. Hatun Madani, the brand ambassador for Mazola and one of the chief guests at the dinner, said: “The success of Mazola products are primarily due to the world-class quality that it maintains across its entire portfolio. The company is committed to provide the best quality and value to the consumers. The new identity aims at creating a direct connect with the consumers. For instance, the Mazola oil brand offers the best and the healthiest option. No wonder, it is the world’s favorite cooking oil for over 100 years.”
Mazola’s participation at Gulfood included a detailed review and interaction with its partners and distributors. Through this endeavor, the company aims to further leverage the reputation of its products and identify potential customers.
