Mazoon Dairy

Highly Engaged Employees

"When it opens, Mazoon Dairy will help the Sultanate to become a truly world-class centre of excellence for the dairy manufacturing industry that reflects the Pride of Oman." Starting from an initial workforce of 400 it is anticipated that within a decade Mazoon Dairy will employ 2,300 staff - with an estimated 70 per cent of these skilled jobs occ... upied by Omanis. Dr. Arjun Subramanian, General Manager Projects at Mazoon Dairy Company said: "The Foundation Stone ceremony has also given the company the opportunity to show the company's stakeholders at a national and local level the progress already made in developing the project. "By hosting so many dignitaries on site the company has been able to demonstrate the size and scale of this outstanding project that will help to set a new benchmark in the production and export of high quality dairy and juice products." The Foundation Stone event comes just a few weeks after Al Adrak Trading and Contracting LLC was announced as the main contractor for construction work with the award of a RO 27.9 million contract. Initially the facility will house 4,000 Holstein-Friesian cows and grow to 25,000 by 2026 and produce 200 million litres of milk. By then it is planned that dairy imports to Oman would fall to nearly 10 per cent from the present 70 per cent and Mazoon Dairy will also be exporting its high quality dairy products to regional GCC markets. The Mazoon Dairy product range will cover a diverse mix of dairy and juice products, including Milk, Yoghurt, Laban, Cheese, Ice cream and Juices. The company plans to make its full product range available from the launch - a unique achievement for a large-scale project of this kind in the Gulf region.Read More
