People you can count on at every level

People With SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL, you’re choosing much more than a co-manufacturer. You’re also selecting

a partnership team who listens in order to understand your needs and respond with expert solutions.

SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s renowned responsiveness is possible only because of the people who

comprise our company at all levels. They’re our most valuable asset, and through training, expertise,

innovative thinking and unwavering commitment to customers, we’re always leveraging that value to give you

our best.

“When_ push comes to shove, you can deal

with anyone — but I prefer SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL.”



SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL–Khalifa Bin Zayed St, Al Swan-Amberjem Tower,Office 2114, Ajman Free

Zone UAE PO BOX 45578 M: 00971561720382

A few examples of SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s people at work: LEARNING YIELDS CONTINUOUS SOLUTIONS When a competitor of ours suddenly

went out of business, their customers

were affected by the unforeseen loss

of supply. Due to the closure, one

customer stood to lose an important

piece of business if they could not

resource production within six

weeks. Thanks to our training and

ability to respond in new situations,

SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL was

positioned to help. We tested and

produced a blend unlike anything we

had produced before, sourced and

ran packaging equipment we had not

utilized before, and shipped product

in five weeks, saving the customer’s

business. The only reason our

management accepted this sizeable

challenge was the confidence they

had in our trained employees – and

they delivered!

OUR CULTURE OF CARE PAYS OFF SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL not only

believes strongly in high quality job-

skills training, we are committed to life

skills training as well. We fund training

that allows our employees to become

fluent in English and to obtain their

GEDs where needed, so they can

achieve more and experience more,

not only on the job but also in their

homes and communities. Three of our recent GED graduates are

moving on to higher education. We

have been gratified to see their life

experiences and potential expand

because of the success of our

programs. Even more importantly

from our perspective, we also offer

spiritual support and encouragement

to help employees cultivate this

aspect of life as desired, with

chaplains assigned to each of our

plants.

RESPONSIVENESS IN ACTION One major international Fortune

100 food company relies on

SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL for

re-packaging and blending some

of its major ingredients into sizes

and configurations that work best

for the efficiency of its plant.

Because this customer has a

constantly changing production

schedule, a lean supply chain and

shifting demand, they consistently

praise SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL’s ability to

accommodate changes whenever

possible. At SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL, we employ

people who recognize that our

success depends on our

customers’ success. Let us know

how we can add to your success,

as well.



We never stop looking for ways to help you improve

Problem Solving With SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL, you get much more than a co-manufacturer – you get an

expert partner who works closely with you to deliver solutions that address your needs. Whether

you want to streamline your manufacturing process, improve blend consistency, upgrade

packaging, integrate challenging ingredients or explore new products, SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL can deliver. We continually innovate for customers, helping them resolve

production issues, take advantage of market opportunities or simply reduce costs. If you are still

searching for the right solution, you haven’t asked SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL yet.

“On_ the first try, SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL was able to solve a

manufacturing challenge that we

struggled with for 5 years.”



SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL–Khalifa Bin Zayed St, Al Swan-Amberjem Tower,Office 2114, Ajman Free Zone UAE PO BOX

45578 M: 00971561720382

A few examples of SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s problem solving at work: SOLVING INGREDIENT CHALLENGES One leading global candy manufacturer struggled for years to

introduce a topical sweetener into one of their key lines of

products. The problem not only affected the products but

efficiency and worker safety as well. SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL was able to blend a product that created

more consistent application, better product flow, higher yields,

and reduced potential for injuries during production. We love to

provide blending solutions but this was certainly one of our

sweetest!

MANUFACTURING IMPROVEMENTS A major food manufacturer came to us after having poor

experiences with several suppliers of outsourced spray drying.

We invested in new equipment that would provide us with the

full capability to resolve the issues and supply all of their

needs. In addition, we also leveraged our spray-drying

expertise and our equipment’s capabilities to increase the

concentration of a key product component, which the customer

had been trying to accomplish for 5 years. By truly listening to

our customers’ needs, SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL can take your company and products further.

FROM CUSTOMER HEADACHES TO TURNKEY SOLUTIONS One major CPG company had been producing a product component blend in their plant for years, knowing it was

inefficient and out of the company’s core competency but also

believing there were no other options. They then had to have it

re-packed at a supplier who lacked the proper equipment.

When they reached out to SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL, we

provided the right solution. For year one, we provided a

responsive re-pack solution, and for year two, we suggested

blend adjustments, sourced ingredients, optimized equipment

and delivered a turnkey solution.


We take your business as seriously as you do

Protection At SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL, our goal is to serve as an extension of our clients’ manufacturing

facilities, so the products we deliver always match your high expectations — and ours. With us, you

get more than just a co-manufacturer – you get a partner whose processes are intentionally

designed to protect your company, your consumers, your brands and your competitiveness in the

market. Our plant certifications and audit readiness are only the beginning. To us, protection is a

promise that extends through every level of every customer partnership.

“The_ giants of the food world are their customers.

And since they’ve approved SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL, we knew they’d already be at

the level we need.”

PO BOX 45578 M: 00971561720382

A few examples of SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s protection at work: ENSURING PRODUCT AND BRAND PROTECTION Shortly after being awarded business that had previously been

processed by another contract manufacturer, SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL’s HACCP plan proved worth the investment

and focus. Our customer’s blend was used in a retail product

that was part of a new launch for a highly regarded consumer

brand. Early in production, SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL

consistently identified that one component of our customer’s

blend contained a low level of metal. Our customer was

grateful for being alerted to the issue, which prompted them to

change raw material suppliers. They have gained peace of

mind from knowing that their brand’s quality remains intact and

that its equity is protected by SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL.

CONFIDENTIALITY IS KEY SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL understands the absolute

necessity of confidentiality. Our high level of quality puts us in a small niche of top contract manufacturers. It’s only natural

then that we work with many major food manufacturers, some

of whom compete with one another. At SHAHEER

INTERNATIONAL, we have great sensitivity to this and work

with the utmost discretion for every client on every aspect of

their business.

YOUR BUSINESS COMES FIRST SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s business is designed so that we

succeed only when our customers do. As you grow, we grow.

SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL’s top priority is your business. That is

why we never compete with our customers. We never want you to

worry about the security of your formulations, intellectual property,

brands, customers or priority in our production schedule. Not only does our business model inherently protect you, but our values do, as well.

SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL–Khalifa Bin Zayed St, Al Swan-Amberjem Tower,Office

2114, Ajman Free Zone UAE PO BOX 45578 M: 00971561720382

PREVENTING CONTAMINATION From receiving to processing to warehousing to

shipping, SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL maintains strict

adherence to our industry leading allergen control and

segregation policies. We also have dedicated gluten free

processing capabilities and are able to meet stringent

food certification standards, including Grade A, Organic

and Halal.

PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE Where will SHAHEER INTERNATIONAL be in the years to

come? Right here, serving you. We have invested in our

future strategically but also prudently, not putting our financial

position at risk. Our experienced management team and

succession planning ensures the stability of the company in

case of any unexpected loss within our leadership or

ownership. Even our plants have protection built in, with both

of them featuring many redundant capabilities. You can sleep

easy at night, we will be here.
