Food distributors play vital contributions as part of the global food supply chain. They are the ones who ensure that the best food brands in the world find suitable avenues for placement of their products and for reaching out better to consumers. The manufacturer or producer of the food product is only the first step in the entire chain of a food product. The distributor is the one who ensures that the product gets delivered and safely transported post storage, to suitable retailers and shops. The final chain in the process is when these products are purchased by their end consumers. As a result, the food distribution business has gathered immense momentum across the world, particularly in fast-emerging global markets such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE has benefited from a growing consumer boom in almost all sectors, driven by rising disposable incomes, growing tourism and hospitality revenues, focus on infrastructure, higher foreign residencies and of course, an evolving taste for the best products and services around the world.
To this end, there are several food distribution companies in UAE, particularly in Dubai, which is a major global hub for leading food brands and companies. These companies play a really valuable role in helping leading food products reach supermarket and retail store shelves while also helping out with storage, warehousing, transportation and all other necessary activities. The success of any food brand in a particular region is also dependent, to a large extent, on its distributor.
When it comes to food distribution companies in Dubai, Al Maya Distribution, under the aegis of the Al Maya Group, deserves special mention. Over the last few years, the Group has introduced 50+ leading global food brands to the city and the UAE as a whole. It has more than 1 million sq. ft. in warehousing space along with being one of the UAE’s biggest food distribution and logistics companies as well. Al Maya Trading, another group company, ensures smooth supply of these top brands to major supermarket chains, stores and other retailers. The Group is known for emphasizing on consistent infrastructure upgradation and is known for using the very latest cutting-edge WMS (warehouse management system) along with other supply chain management technologies. It works to be a successful facilitator and distributor in the business to business (B2B) space, having earned immense reliability and goodwill over the years. It operates with a network of more than 100 vehicles as well.
