UAE-based baking company Bakemart will be opening a new production facility in Dubai Industrial City, the company’s managing director TK Khaleel told Caterer Middle East during Gulfood.
The new facility will add to Bakemart’s current production plant in International Media Production Zone, which produces over 300,000 units of bread, pastries, and other baked goods on a daily basis. The production capacity at the new factory will double the company’s existing output.
Commenting on Bakemart’s future expansion plans, Khaleel said: “We are also planning to open a production facility in Oman in Muscat. We are also very seriously looking in the Saudi market, so we plan to be present throughout the region in the next couple of years.

The company also launched its new line of bread and baked goods called World of Artisan Breads at Gulfood, which features 25 new products, including organic bread, gluten free baked items, and sugar-free pastries.
“The demand for artisan is increasing in the region; in the US and Europe it’s very common. People want something different, and I’m sure the artisan range will be very successful here,” Khaleel added.
Bakemart currently operates in the UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar. The company has also received a lot of interest from Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan, Khaleel said.
