Maaza International

What Maaza International does

Maaza International is a Dubai-based flavor development and beverage company that has operated continuously since 1974, specializing in mango-based and tropical fruit flavors. The company maintains an extensive product portfolio anchored by its flagship mango flavor and extending to 30+ mango variants (including Mango Peach, Mango Papaya, Mango Passionfruit, Mango Mix Fruit, Mango Tropical, Mango Mix Berries, Mango Fruit Cocktail, and Mango Citrus blends) alongside 30+ single-fruit flavors such as Orange, Apple, Guava, Peach, Pineapple, Strawberry, Pomegranate, Lychee, Kiwi, and Coconut, among others. The company positions itself as a flavor ingredient supplier to food and beverage manufacturers, with R&D collaboration described as a core capability and a stated vision of being the leading mango flavor company globally.

The underlying technology is flavor formulation expertise supported by what the company describes as a "global network for product development." Maaza's R&D team collaborates with clients throughout the product development cycle to align flavors with target audience preferences and adapt global and regional trends to local tastes. The proprietary portfolio — over 60 distinct flavor formulations spanning mango blends, mango-fruit pairings, multi-fruit cocktails, and individual fruit extracts — represents the company's primary technical asset. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company holds no disclosed patents or certifications.

Maaza operates a dual business model: a B2B flavor distribution arm supplying food and beverage manufacturers through distributor relationships, and a franchise program that licenses the Maaza brand to entrepreneurs globally for branded beverage operations. Revenue is generated through franchise fees and royalties from the franchise network, plus transaction-based revenue from distributors who resell Maaza flavors to industrial customers. The company serves two primary B2B segments (food and beverage manufacturers, and franchisees), with a secondary distributor channel and an end-consumer persona via the franchise beverage outlets. Headquarters are in Dubai, UAE (P.O. Box 6081); the company is privately held with no disclosed funding history, no headcount, and no public revenue figures.
