WHO WE ARE?

48 Years of Excellence

Established in 1976 by the visionary Emirati entrepreneur Sultan Al Owais, United Foods Company became a pioneer by inaugurating the first refinery for edible oils and fats in the GCC countries. Over the years, the company has evolved into the foremost manufacturing entity for oils and fats in both the UAE and the GCC region.

Aseel: Charting the Culinary Frontier since 1976

Our journey took a groundbreaking turn when we became the Gulf region’s first oil refinery, driven by a profound vision to meet the growing needs of the Middle East’s population. In 1976, we introduced our very first brand, Aseel, which soon became the heart and soul of United Foods. Initially, Aseel focused on providing top-notch cooking oil and vegetable ghee, gradually expanding to offer a wide array of fats and oils.

Brands in Harmony

As time passed, United Foods Company introduced a lineup of superior brands that have become household names: Nawar, Safi, Mumtaz, and Super Sun. These brands, like the instruments in a symphony, come together to create a diverse range of fats and oils that cater to the ever-evolving tastes of our discerning customers.
