It currently has eight other manufacturing facilities located across Asia and Eastern Europe, as the group considers the proximity of its manufacturing facilities to its core markets, including Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and CIS markets and Indochina.
Food Empire Holdings has been awarded a 10-hectare plot of land in the Khorgos Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Kazakhstan to develop a new coffee-mix production facility.
The company is expecting to receive regulatory approvals to commence construction by June, with the facility in full operation by the end of 2025, where it will produce coffee-mix sachets under Food Empire’s various brands, including its flagship MacCoffee brand, which are sold in over 60 countries.
