Our founder, Mr. GholamAli Soleimani, has always asked one question: "What would I serve my own family?”. That question shapes everything we make. And as the UAE builds a future of food security, SoFood is helping answer that vision by bringing local production that meets global quality standards
Solico Group built Central Asia's first milk refinery. SoFood applies that same innovation capacity to meat and protein production serving as the Group's regional innovation center. We develop formulations tailored to Middle Eastern tastes and engineer supply chains that enhance freshness. We're not replicating what exists. We're building what's needed next.
Equipped with advanced European technologies across a 5,000 m² site, we deploy a modular design that allows rapid entry into new food categories with minimal disruption.
Sustainability is embedded throughout the facility, combining energy and water efficient systems with a strong focus on waste minimisation.
With an initial capacity of up to 40 tons per day, SoFood's output is backed by ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal, and Dubai Municipality Grade A certifications and the highest quality ingredients.
Proudly aligned with the UAE’s Make it in the Emirates initiative, advancing local manufacturing and export ready food production.
