75 ARTICLE MILLER / JULY 2020 It is worth mentioning that Al-Hazaa Investment Group opened for business in the early 1940s with one flour mill in Iraq, since then the group strived to build strong foun- dations and relationships in major markets, the group’s history in the field of food production exceeds 70 years. The company now works across the Middle East in Jor- dan, Iraq, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Cyprus in various sectors and industries ranging from grain milling, storage and trading, pasta and noodles production, ani- mal feed and plastic industry to energy engineering. The project of Al-Hasad Mill including its silos and ot- her outbuildings and facilities cost 14 million USD and took two years to complete. The mill has today a total production capacity of 200 ton/ day. This is the result of the distinctive efforts of Al-Hazaa Investment Group and its responsible management represented by its CEO, Mr. Jamal Al-Hazaa, who is continuously shouldering the success of the group. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are the core of our group and therefore all our pro- ject in Jordan inclu- ding Al-Hasad mill are eco-friendly, operating with 100% clean ener- gy that is generated from Al-Hazaa Group’s solar power plant, Al-Hazaa Company for Renewable Energy is the biggest, private-u- se solar power plant in Jordan. Being the only mai- ze mill in Jordan made Al-Hasad Mill an important supplier of raw materials, including maize grits and maize flour, for many chip factories in the country instead of importing them from Turkey and Europe. Al-Hasad Mill supplies its products to large producers like Mr. Chips, Jordina, Hala Chips and other well-known brands in Jordan and the region. Products of Al-Hasad Mill include fine maize grits (108), coarse maize grits (101), gluten-free corn flour, corn germ and corn bran, the mill’s extraction rate is 75% for flour, fine and coarse maize grits while the rest 25% is divided between corn germ (7%) and corn bran (18%). Another important market for Al-Hasad Mill is the signi- ficant increase in consumption of gluten-free products in Jordan and the region, which led to an increased demand especially for the mill’s corn flour and corn germ. The outstanding products of Al-Hasad Mill are an inevitable outcome, as the company doesn’t only put immense ef- forts on its quality control department but also uses the best raw materials from excellent origins and operates the latest, most advanced technology in the field of grain milling. Ac- curacy and quality are highly sought-after at all facilities owned by Al-Hazaa Investment Group; therefore, the company always tur- ns to its Swiss partner, Bühler AG to supply its mills with all their nee- ds for state-of-the-art machinery, Al-Hazaa Investment Group is also Bühler’s agent in the Iraqi market.
