In terms of product innovations, at Mai Dubai we have recently launched ‘Zero-Sodium Alkaline Water,’ which is the first product of its kind in the world!

The highly positive market response received by this product to date adds further momentum to the brand’s journey of growth by exceeding customer expectations and providing high quality products and services in an innovative manner.

Another example is from production perspective: our operations of the facility are fully automated; starting from the arrival of raw material in the warehouses till the loading of product batches onto the trucks for dispatch, ensuring 100 per cent hands-free operations. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) platforms are smartly integrated to ensure smart and smooth intra-logistics.

In addition, the monorail inside the factory stretches 1.1 kilometers and is the longest built in the region with 44 carts, transferring raw material and packing material to the production lines to the exact point of use.

Furthermore, the highly automated industrial facility features the largest solar roof installation in the Middle East and the second-largest in the world and contributes to reducing 10,000MTs of carbon emissions annually.
