MANUFACTURING which has seen renewed investment .”
Future plans In terms of growth markets , Astrachem management see many Asian countries as key focus areas for the future . Two years ago the company started exporting to Vietnam and Taiwan , and will be concentrating on further emerging markets like Pakistan going forward .
For El Azab , it makes logistical sense to export to these countries as his organisation attempts to muscle in between Europe and China and compete for business by offering high quality products at reasonable prices .
A lot of firm ’ s 400-plus products are either aligned with a multinational logo or a multinational company is allowing Astrachem to produce their product under a brand name . Consequently , the Astrachem brand image is spreading across multiple countries .
“ We are looking forward to going upstream into further production in various other fields which will serve our customers faster and in a cost-effective manner . We believe we can share a part of China ’ s export market , and strategically we see some future in this area .” said El Azab .
He concluded : “ Every year , we are growing at a rate of double digit figures and we are one of few that produce such a wide range of products under one umbrella , so we are confident for the future as farmers know they can rely on us to meet their high expectations .”
