The products are being imported from the US and the Netherlands, Almarai said in a statement to the Saudi stock exchange.
Almarai is building a manufacturing facility for paediatric nutrition products just outside Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital. IPNC plans to lease the site.
In its statement, Almarai said construction of the Saudi facility was “progressing according to plan”. The company hopes local production will replace the imports from the US and the Netherlands by the end of next year.
