Almarai: world-class dairy in the desert

Article Abstract:

Almarai has a new $107-million, 50,000-sq-meter world-class dairy processing plant in Saudi Arabia. The facility takes the place and consolidates production from earlier Almarai plants while increasing capacity by twofold. The facility makes fresh milk, aseptically-packaged fresh UHT milk and a broad array of traditional Middle Eastern cultured products such as laban and zabadi. The facility is set up to keep cross-contamination at its lowest. Basic design is composed of three separate modules: services, processing and dry storage. Khalid Al-Molhem, general manager and CEO, said the plant was built with expansion in mind as dairy product consumption increases by 7% to 8% per capita per year.
