Goodness in a Can

Since the launch of its operations in 1989, Gulf Food Industries – California Garden (GFICG) committed to a philosophy of producing premium quality canned foods based on the meticulous selection of the world’s highest quality raw materials. And GFICG does not stop there: The company’s immaculate success is based on its full cycle of raw materials purchasing, advanced technological equipment and processes, canning methodologies, storage facilities and supply chain management.

GFICG’s integrated management system is accredited by the Occupational Health and Safety Series, OHSAS 18001, by HACCP, the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points for safety, its quality internal process by ISO 9001 and its environmental management by ISO 14001. Additionally, GFICG is certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the HALAL boards.

One of GFICG’s secrets to success is its attentiveness to market customization. It caters its manufacturing process in terms of quantity, shelf-life, costing and of course, product variations.

The company’s ready-to-eat beans product range is one such example of market tailoring. The beans are made from a wide variety of carefully selected beans and spices that ensure delivery of premium, unique flavors. In addition, GFICG heavily invests in food innovation technologies, manufacturing and warehousing facilities, which are key assets of the company today. Beginning with the world’s finest raw materials, GFICG’s extensive technical training is applied in materials testing, food safety and quality, sensory evaluation and flavor profiling, food packaging interactions, shelf-life evaluation and extension and nutritional labeling.

Another example of GFICG’s prime tailor-made products is its easy-open can range. The cans, which are manufactured at GFICG, are made of prime tinplates to the highest specifications, which utilize high-quality food grade lacquers that are white and gold on the inside. These lacquers protect the premium products inside as they ensure safe interaction between the tin can and the packaged food. Further, the cans are available in a wide packaging size variety, entailing easy-open ends that are mutually safe and convenient for the consumers.

GFICG’s perseverance in maintaining its quality, technology, manufacturing and innovation have enabled it to experience extraordinary annual growth. Today, GFICG products are a household favorite across the world.
