Members of the American Chamber of Commerce in Bahrain (AmCham) enjoyed a tour of the US-based snacks company Mondelēz International’s manufacturing plant in Bahrain International Investment Park. 

The factory currently produces Oreo cookies, Barni soft cakes, Belvita biscuits as well as Tang powdered beverage, for local consumers and serves as a hub for exports to the Gulf region, the Levant and Africa.

Omar Nassef, Mondelez plant manager, gave the business leaders an executive brief on the development of the plant, which began operations in early 2018. 

AmCham Bahrain President Qays Zu’bi said: “AmCham hosts regular executive level behind-the-scenes business tours for its members to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the business environment and trade opportunities in Bahrain. We appreciate our member companies, like Mondelez Bahrain W.L.L., for providing us with such an informative and interesting experience.”

US Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Maggie Nardi joined the tour along with 25 other AmCham members, representing a wide variety of business sectors including manufacturing, logistics, and human capital development.
