Leading the UAE food sector for 60 years: Al Ghurair Foods

Al Ghurair Foods was formed in the UAE in 1960 when pearl trading and fishing were the backbones of the local economy. Over the past six decades, it has woven itself into the fabric of the nation, becoming a household name in the Emirates and beyond.

Today, its parent company Al Ghurair Investment is one of the largest family business groups in the Middle East. As well as food trading, its operations span six other sectors: resources, properties, construction, energy, mobility and ventures.

Thanks to its extensive and diversified portfolio, the Al Ghurair family name has become synonymous with enterprise, development and prosperity across the Middle East. Now headquartered in Deira, in the heart of Dubai, the group’s operations span over 20 countries and it employs more than 28,000 people.

Under its parent company’s guidance, Al Ghurair Foods has evolved into a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality food products. The company’s most popular products include eggs, oats, flour and semolina.

Al Ghurair Foods is the region’s leading flour miller with over 40 years of experience and an annual capacity of more than 1.5 million metric tonnes. The company has operational silos of over 230,000 metric tonnes across its wheat milling assets alone.

It is this vast operation that drives Al Ghurair Foods continued success, helping it live up to its long-standing motto: “Part of every plate, every day.”
