“This will be our first serious foray into the Middle East region,” William Wake, director of export markets for Glanbia’s consumer foods arm, told just-food.
Glanbia has a presence in the region with its ingredients business. “This [UHT launch] will allow us to build some scale when it comes to our consumer foods segment here,” Wake added.
The UHT-based cream will be rolled out into the UAE’s foodservice sector by September this year. Glanbia hopes to have the range, which includes a 500ml format of the milk product, in the retail channel by the first quarter of 2016.
