"It is highly versatile and has the capacity to meet the demand across all our markets," he says. "In addition we will have a state-of-the-art universal moulding line, designed for the production of EPS cups. Furthermore flow pack machines will be installed in line with stacked EPS tableware and cups, offering 6 colours printed packaging with barcoding designed for supermarket shelves.

Out of the total area of 11,0002 the factory will occupy 1200m2 , the warehouses will cover 6000m2, and 1500m2 will be taken up by the offices and showroom.

The architectural design has been conceptualized and developed by Lecaudey & Mathieux - Paris, France, the same agency which designed Al Bayader's new Jebel Ali Regional Offices.
