Kuwait Flour Mills & Bakeries Company

Since its independence back in 1961, the State of Kuwait proceeded with significant steps towards founding the country, and instilling its own food security, represented in establishing the Kuwait Flour Mills Company. However, as it amalgamated with the Kuwaiti Bakeries Company in 1988, it has become one of the leading industrial branches of Kuwait. Though its processes started with the delivery of flours shipments, the KFMB has today become one of the hugest industrial complexes in the Middle East, thanks to its own factories operating according to the best quality standards, and the state-of-the-art technologies. It incorporates ten main plants, ten automatic bakeries spread all over Kuwait, and an automatic bakery in Sabhan producing bread and European Samoon bread. In 1969, the company tended to incorporate a pastry plant, to be followed with incorporating a biscuits plant in 1971. Moreover, KFMB established in 1976 a vegetarian oil factory, which was the first of its kind within the Arabian Gulf region. In 1978, the company adopted ambitious steps towards building nine automatic bakeries geographically spread all over Kuwait, the main of which was the Central Sabhan Bakery, which is deemed a distinguished industrial mark in the Arabian Gulf region. In 1996, it operated the fodders factory, which provides fodders rich with nutrients for livestock breeders, as well as serving the livestock wealth within the country. In 1994, KFMB purchased a company of great importance for better serving the Kuwaiti locals, i.e., the Kuwait Supply Company, which deals in distributing ration supplies through its ration branches spread all over Kuwait, under the supervision of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry. KFMB carries on its shoulders a national responsibility, represented in covering the country’s needs of basic food supplies, and further boosting and developing current industries to support the national industry wheel. It also aims to preserve food security. KFMB-affiliated factories are accredited by international and Kuwaiti certifications instilling their confident steps towards fulfilling the concept of leadership, such as Kuwaiti Quality Certification, and ISO Quality Management Certification (ISO 9001:2008) & (ISO 22000:2005), as well as the ACCP Certification granted to Sabhan, pastry and biscuit factories.
