SIG partners Enazaha to accelerate local dairy production

MAURITANIA – SIG has collaborated with Enazaha, a leading Mauritanian agri-food group active in dairy production and distribution, to reduce reliance on imported dairy products.

As part of this investment, Enazaha has installed a third SIG aseptic filling line, the SIG Slimline 12 Aseptic, to fill 1L and 500ml cartons.

The new line complements the company’s existing setup, which includes another SIG Slimline 12 Aseptic and one SIG Small 12 Aseptic filling line, which Enazaha uses to fill milk and flavored milk into SIG SmallBloc 200ml aseptic cartons.

The successful commissioning of the new line reflects strong collaboration between SIG’s technical and commercial teams and Enazaha, ensuring efficient execution and rapid ramp-up of production.

“At SIG, we are committed to enabling our customers to scale efficiently and strengthen local production capabilities,” said Abdelghany Eladib, President & General Manager IMEA at SIG. “Our partnership with Enazaha demonstrates how flexible filling solutions can support market growth while reducing dependency on imported dairy products.”

By expanding its production footprint, Enazaha is better positioned to capture demand across multiple segments while improving scalability for future growth.

Increasing local production across key formats strengthens supply chain resilience, reduces reliance on imported dairy products, and limits exposure to foreign exchange volatility, ultimately supporting national food security objectives.

 “This expansion is a key milestone in our growth strategy,” said Mohamed Haye Babacar, General Manager at Enazaha.“With SIG’s technology, we are increasing our production capacity, diversifying our portfolio, and reinforcing our ability to serve the Mauritanian market with high-quality dairy products.”

Enazaha has achieved a significant milestone by reaching approximately 50% of the Mauritanian long-life milk market.

In addition, its products have successfully expanded beyond national borders into neighbouring countries, strengthening its position as a leading dairy producer in the region.

Recently, SIG Group reported adjusted net income of €48.1 million (approximately US$51.5 million) for Q1 2026, up from €44.4 million a year earlier, while group-level revenue fell 4.2% on a reported basis to €714.3 million (approximately US$765 million) but remained flat at constant currency.
