The company has registered high growth rate mainly due to its strategy to cut its cost of operations. Mohamed Yehia Zakaria, Managing Director, said: "Our continuous focus to increase our market share and reduction in cost has yielded us such good results.

Zakaria said: "As far as expansion plans are concerned the company is finalising plans to produce 300/330ml bottles which should hit the market by end of 2004 and beginning of 2005. We also constantly believe in making our presence felt in the market by continuously participating in various festivals.
