The company has attained other certifications to ensure good manufacturing practices together with strict hygiene compliance such as: •
FSSC (Food Safety System Certification) ISO22000 which allows Ellaziq entry into european markets like France and the United Kingdom.
•
HACCP accreditation
•
AVA-Grade “A” manufacturing facility (rating by Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore)
Innovation
Ellaziq prioritises product innovation according to taste changes. They adopt and incorporate market trends into their product planning. Today, the company has expanded its product range to include chicken and beef sausages and slices, as well as Halal chinese sausages, giving their customers a bigger variety of Halal food. To prolong shelf life, Ellaziq uses high-tech sterilization and minimal preservatives.
International Markets
Apart from Singapore, Ellaziq exports to Brunei, Myanmar, India, and Australia. Their next step is to enter Malaysia, Japan, and the Middle East, as their products are generating interest from these countries. The company participates in key food events and exhibitions such as the Halal Food Expo and Gulfood to introduce their products to potential distributors and new customers. Mr Ong says, “We also enjoy the same products as our customers. That in itself is proof of our commitment to ensuring that our customers have complete satisfaction in our products.” OCTOBER 2016

Emirates Industry was initially established in 2003 with actual studies on the commercialization of camel milk completed in April 2006. Once they succeeded in their research undertaking, the production lines began immediately by August that same year. For over 25 years, Central Veterinary Research Laboratory (CVRL) studied the properties and benefits of camel milk as an essential first step before the company could proceed with the project owing to the high expense required to build the farm, and facilitate a proper and hygienic plant for milk production. “We understand the excellent health benefits of camel milk, and as its producer, we take it as part of social responsibility to spread the consumption of this product all around the world,” explains its sales manager Muhammad Ashraf.
