“The growing interest of international companies to base their operations in Sharjah, particularly in the SAIF Zone, proves once again that our attractive facilities, exceptional services, and privileges are unparalleled and can effectively support the aspirations of businesses in achieving their economic goals. Despite the modernity of its factory, Bano decided to further expand its operations, something which highlights the efficiency of investments in SAIF Zone. This also means the company will be better equipped to meet the growing demand for its products and solutions associated with the food industry not only locally but also in regional markets.
