In Tunisia, Candia has teamed up with Tunisie Lait, owned by the Doghri group, to produce milk in bottles and cartons from its plant in Sousse, located 140 km south of Tunis.
In Libya, Candia has forged a partnership with Olin Holdings Ltd, a Cyprus-based company specialising in dairy products and drinks. Olin runs a production plant in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
