Shibu Thomas will lead Sweet Garden Travel Retail as Managing Director |
Dubai-based Sweet Garden LLC, a group company of Aal Mir Holding, has announced the bifurcation of its duty free business into the newly created Sweet Garden Travel Retail FZCo.
Sweet Garden is one of the largest distributors of confectionery products in the UAE and Oman and the sole distributor of brands such as Arcor, Creamline, Elvan, Harrison, Lotte, Lutti, Nestlé, Orion, Perfetti Van Melle, Solen, Ulker, Walkers, and Witor’s. It serves different segments in the UAE, Oman as well as the Middle East and South Asia markets.
“Sweet Garden Travel Retail, the supply chain partner of many global FMCG brands and duty free operators and a supplier to more than 20 airports in the region, is now poised to expand its operations globally,” said Managing Director Shibu Thomas, a duty free industry veteran with over 18 years of experience.
The new company will be located in the Dubai Free Zone, with business consultants stationed around the world.
Sweet Garden, which attributes its exponential growth in the region to its value for money products and duty free exclusive offerings, aims to be a “˜one-stop shop’ for confectionery products. With the logistical advantages of Dubai as a hub, the company says it can deliver to all duty free operators in the region within ten days, making the purchase process “hassle-free and cost-effective”, it underlined.
