This collaboration aims to bolster the processing capabilities of Wonderful Pistachios in the Middle East, ensuring superior availability and quality of these nutritious snacks in the region.
Al Douri Group, a leading name in the GCC’s food service industry since 1979, is set to become the official processing partner for Wonderful Pistachios. Located in Dubai, the group’s advanced, fully automated factory and widespread retail presence are poised to deliver significant commercial advantages. This includes shorter shipping times, enhanced product freshness and quality, and wider distribution.
Michael Hohmann, EVP and CFO of Wonderful Pistachios, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the strategic benefits of Al Douri Group’s location for expanding their footprint in the Middle East. He anticipates that this alliance will not only affirm Wonderful Pistachios as the preferred choice among consumers but also facilitate the creation of customized products and packaging.
Yaser Douri, Chief Manufacturing Officer at Al Douri Group, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the synergy between the two companies’ processing and distribution capabilities. He assured that this collaboration would elevate the product quality and freshness across the Middle East, benefiting consumers directly.
The partnership is expected to streamline the supply chain for distributors, reducing the need for extensive stockpiling and enhancing the shelf life of the products. Wonderful Pistachios are celebrated for their health benefits, including being a natural source of protein, vitamins, and minerals, which contribute to heart health, muscle growth, and overall well-being.
Hohmann concluded with a forward-looking statement about introducing this wholesome snack to more consumers in the region. For further information on Wonderful Pistachios and their product range, visit their website at wonderful.com/brands/wonderful-pistachios.
