Sohar Flour Mills, Liwa, Oman
Located at the strategically vital Sohar Port near the Strait of Hormuz, Sohar Flour Mills prides itself on producing premium-quality, 100% natural products. Its high capacity and prime setting for international trade with both Europe and Asia has meant the facility has grown to be not just a highly successful business in its own right, but a key contributor to Oman’s food security and economic development.
The company’s wide product range includes traditional baker’s flour alongside pizza flour, biscuit flour, and chakki atta flour, which is made from whole wheat grains using traditional stone grinding techniques. The facility is committed to maintaining the “highest standards of quality, safety, and sustainability in its operations, ensuring that it meets the diverse needs of its customers – both local and international”, says Ibrahim Al Amri, Chief Operations Officer for Oman Flour Mills, the company’s major shareholder.
It’s a very well-connected system, all the way from the unloading into the silos to the mill itself. We’re so proud that there’s no human interference into the grains or flour the whole thing is fully automated, which gives more confidence in terms of the hygiene, safety, and security of the product.
