Al Hazaa Investment Group

What Al Hazaa Investment Group does

Al-Hazaa Investment Group is a privately held, family-owned industrial conglomerate founded in 1942 in Baghdad, Iraq, with operating headquarters in Amman, Jordan. The group operates across six industrial sectors: grain milling (15 mills with 5,500 tons/day capacity), grain trading and storage (~800K tons capacity), animal feed production, pasta and noodle manufacturing, plastic woven polypropylene bag production, and renewable energy (operating the largest private solar power plant in Jordan). Its operations span Jordan, Iraq, the UAE, and Egypt via a portfolio of wholly-owned subsidiary mills (Al-Rafidain, Al-Farouq, Al-Mashriq, Al-Ain, Sharjah, Ajman, Egyptian Millers, Al-Taj, Ayla, Astarta and others), supported by a Switzerland business office.

The group's technology stack centers on standardized Swiss Bühler milling equipment deployed across facilities, including the Mercury digital control system at the 2022 Aqaba Ayla Mill. Customer segments are primarily enterprise buyers: flour and pasta to bakeries and food manufacturers; animal feed to livestock farms; and woven polypropylene bags to industrial and agricultural customers. Pricing is quote-based B2B with no public price list, and distribution is handled through regional manufacturing facilities and direct enterprise sales relationships.

The conglomerate makes money predominantly through commodity hardware sales (flour, feed, pasta, plastic bags) plus managed storage services and internally consumed renewable energy. The group has expanded aggressively via acquisition, completing deals for Netting Plastic Co. (2012), 75% of Egyptian Millers (2020), and Astarta Group (June 2024), and securing a 300,000-ton Khalifa Port storage lease with AD Ports Group in February 2025. Ownership remains concentrated in the Al-Hazaa family with Jamal Al-Hazaa as Chairman and no public shareholders or external financial sponsors identified.

Broad incumbents

• Savola Group: Saudi conglomerate with edible oils, sugar, and food retail/bakery. Comparable diversified industrial food holding structure with MENA-wide operations though not focused on flour milling.
• Almarai Company: Saudi-listed dairy and food giant with bakery and animal feed operations. Overlaps with Al-Hazaa in animal feed and grain-based value chain, but is a much broader consumer food incumbent.
• Americana Group (International Foodstuffs Co.): Large MENA food manufacturer and operator with broad protein, bakery, and processed food presence. Overlaps with Al-Hazaa in frozen foods and broader food manufacturing channels; a broader incumbent rather than a milling specialist.
• Cargill: Global agricultural commodity trader and food ingredient processor with significant MENA milling and grain origination operations. Sets global benchmarks for wheat trade flows and pricing affecting Al-Hazaa's input costs.

Regional players

• Halwani Brothers Co. Saudi food manufacturer with pasta, processed meats, and frozen products across the Arab world. Comparable downstream grain-based consumer food portfolio and regional distribution, though focused more on branded retail than B2B milling.
• Attia Hala Group: Egyptian feed and poultry integrator with grain sourcing operations. Comparable in the animal feed and grain sourcing segments and a relevant regional competitor in Egypt where Al-Hazaa also operates.

Direct peers

• First Milling Company: Saudi-listed flour milling leader with multi-mill capacity and grain storage across the Kingdom. Direct competitor in MENA flour milling and a relevant benchmark for Al-Hazaa's Saudi/multi-country ambitions.
• Al Ghurair Foods: UAE-based flour milling and food company operating mills in the Gulf and re-exporting regionally. Closest direct competitor to Al-Ain Mills on Gulf wheat processing and pasta; competes head-to-head for UAE food security contracts.
• Al Kifah Holding Company: Saudi conglomerate with significant flour milling, animal feed, and grain trading operations. Comparable vertically integrated feed-to-flour-to-trading model and a similar MENA geographic footprint.

Others

• Bühler Group: Swiss technology supplier of milling equipment and digital control systems (Mercury) used across Al-Hazaa's mills. Not a competitor but the strategic technology partner and a key adjacency for assessing Al-Hazaa's production capability.
