FMF Foods Ltd has commissioned a new biscuit factory line at its Walu Bay factory this past Thursday.
According to a news statement, the company has invested a substantial amount of money into this project and now has four biscuit factory lines or ovens to produce premium quality biscuits.
The new line was commissioned by co-founder of FMF Mrs Tara Punja.
Speaking on behalf of Mrs Tara Punja, company managing director Sanjay Punja reflected on the humble beginnings of the Biscuit Company of Fiji to the major exporting giant it has become with multiple awards under its fold.
“I am extremely delighted that we have grown the Biscuit Company of Fiji to cater for a growing exports market and produce more than thousands of tonnes of biscuits per month,” he said.
The new oven line is set up to make biscuits primarily for the exports market with a specific focus on private labelling. FMF’s export revenue is forecast to close at $150 million in the year ending June 2023.
“We have seen a significant growth in the demand for biscuits and there are multiple market opportunities presenting themselves. We found this to be an opportune time to invest and compete in the global market.”
Mr Punja went on to say that FMF is thankful to the consumers for continuing to choose the FMF brand of biscuits and other products as part of their daily lives, which gives the company the focus for further investment.
