Kimoha sees surge in green printing products' exports
DUBAI, December 29, 2014
Dubai-based Kimoha Entrepreneurs, a pioneer in manufacturing and marketing of plain and printed product labels, said it has registered over 35 per cent increase in its exports over the past four years.
Quality, customer focus and timely delivery have been the hallmarks for the company ever since its establishment in 1988.
Operating out of Jebel Ali Free Zone, Kimoha caters to over 50 industries, other paper products, barcode printers and inkjet media products.
Its solutions are shipped to the GCC region as well as to markets in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa.
“Exports have increased by more than 35 per cent over the past four years, showing increasing growth opportunities the region offers,” said managing director Vinesh Bhimani.
"Our export share is around 30 per cent of total sales. Our main export market presently is the GCC and we are trying to explore the African market by assessing the demand and supply gap for the products and solutions we offer," stated Bhimani.
"The company is also focusing on increasing its share within untapped areas of the GCC market. Exports outside the GCC are about a third of total exports," he added.
Kimoha, he stated, caters directly to the larger customers while the smaller end-users are catered to by local resellers.
“We have an efficient supply chain arrangement to reach a large number of small customers,” explained Bhimani. “Printed product labels for almost all industries and thermal rolls are our two main products. They have done well mainly due to increasing business for industries such as FMCG, lubricants, steel, construction, garment and retail,” he added.
A member of the Al Ansari group of companies headquartered in Muscat, Oman, Kimoha is an ISO 9001 – 2008 certified company that ranked 27th in the Dubai SME Top 100 list last year.
It is also a recipient of the ‘Green Building Design Award’ from Green Middle East Awards for Environmental Excellence 2012.
In 2013, the company implemented a major waste collection management project to support Dubai’s green building environment policy. It has also received the CSR Label certification in 2013 and 2014 from the Dubai Chamber of Commerce.-TradeArabia News Service
