IFFCO Group (International Foodstuffs Company) is a leading multinational consumer goods conglomerate headquartered in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Established in 1975 by entrepreneur Abdul Razak Allana in Sharjah, the Group has grown from a small regional trading firm into one of the most trusted names in FMCG, food production, agriculture solutions, and packaging technologies.
Nearly five decades later, IFFCO UAE remains a family-driven business, led by the founder’s sons — Feroz, Irfan, and Shiraz Allana — who continue to uphold the same vision of growth, integrity, and innovation.
Our mission is clear:
“To be the preferred provider of sustainable, value-added products and services for everyone, everywhere, and every day.”
From our origins in 1975 as a trading business dealing in frozen and dry foodstuffs, IFFCO Group has continuously expanded and diversified. A key milestone came in 1981 with the launch of our first manufacturing facility in Sharjah a modern meat processing plant that marked the beginning of large-scale production in the UAE.
Over the years, our portfolio has grown to include edible oils, dairy products, confectionery, frozen foods, plant-based alternatives, agriculture inputs, and innovative packaging solutions. Today, IFFCO brands are recognized and trusted by millions of households across the world.
