Mazola, one of the leading names in the regional food industry, held a special event for its partners and distributors in Dubai on the sidelines of Gulfood 2014, a major food and hospitality show.

During the gala dinner, Abdullah Binzagr, president of the company, handed over some awards, including the Best Distributor Award. The winners of the Mazola distributors’ awards included Al Seer Trading (Oman), George & Sami Khoury & Co (Jordan), Binzagr Company (Saudi Arabia) and Raad Trading (Kuwait).

Mazola’s participation at Gulfood included a detailed review and interaction with its partners and distributors, aimed at shaping the future roadmap in the region. Through this endeavour, the company aims to further leverage the reputation of its products and identify potential customers.

Simon Gottfried, vice president of Basateen Foods Saudi Arabia – the manufacturers of Mazola products in the region, said: “Gulfood was a great opportunity for us to network with our partners across the region. We have achieved phenomenal growth in our sales and distribution network, and Gulfood gave us a unique chance to network with all partners on one platform. We are thankful for the support of our partners in our impressive growth.”

Basateen Foods Saudi Arabia recently announced the completion of the new state-of-the-art, multi-million dollar plant expansion in the country. The investment reflects the company’s commitment and strategy to produce increased volumes of Mazola products to meet the increasing brand share, product development and geographic expansion.
