The facility was formally inaugurated by Mr. Shamsudheen Olakara, Chairman of Quality Group, in the presence of the attendees including local and foreign officials as well as members of the Indian-Chinese business community. The Group has initiated this sector to facilitate the sourcing of food products and technically viable products manufactured across China and export to GCC, India and Far East.

Speaking to the gathering during the ceremony, Mr. Shamsudheen said- “Our group has been importing high quality Chinese made products for a long time to cater to millions of shoppers through our retail and wholesale units. He highlighted the longstanding relationships between Quality Group and farmers and manufacturers in China. The Company has developed trade relations with over 600 companies in China and nearby provinces, providing a vital and solid ground support to the Group.

The Group also has a dedicated technical and ground support staff, familiar with the local and regional requirements, to facilitate the smooth functioning of the company. First phase consists of 60 employees, which is expected to eventually grow to the range of 150 to 200 employees within one year.
