RIYADH: Shahzad Zafar Group of Companies, which expanded across the Kingdom in 2013-2014, soon after it started its operations in Bahrain, has recorded a checkered growth.

The group started its operations in Bahrain in 2007 and in Saudi Arabia in 2009.

The company claims to have earned recognition for its large-scale and wide variety of import/export and sale of foodstuffs, including fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and frozen goods, non-alcoholic drinks and general mercantile.

A sole distributor of Unifrutti products in the Kingdom and Bahrain and a sole distributor of Monviso water bottles in the GCC, the company is also a distributor of  Delizia products, Dellaves, Anchor brand and Chiquita in the Kingdom.

“Thus, Unifrutti became a benchmark for the company’s excellent quality products,” the company stated.

It imports goods from Chile, South Africa, Italy, Pakistan, and the US Dairy and frozen products are being imported from Brazil, India, and Australia. The company uses its own cold storage rooms in Dammam with controlled temperatures securing each product and maintaining its freshness.

The company is one of the established entities in logistics and transportation with its largest fleet. Each carrier is ensured with high quality and sensitivity of products while delivering to customers, especially fruits and frozen goods.

The company has been on an expansion course in the Kingdom, particularly in Dammam, Jeddah, Buraidah, Al-Hassa, Sakaka, Khamis Mushayit, Hafar Al-Batin and Raffa, with an annual turnover of SR255 million at its highest peak for 2014 and aiming for more this year.

Behind this growth, the company said, it is the exceptional capability of Director Shahzad Zafar, who has been instrumental in securing, managing and developing the business, as well as creating a group of companies that include Shahzad Zafar Fruits & Foodstuffs, Shahzad Zafar Vegetables & Fruits and AD Global Trading Co. in Bahrain, and Shahzad Zafar Cold Store and Global Star General Trading in the Kingdom.
