- From Staff Reports

After building a strong relationsh­ip with Saudi distributo­r Al-Watania Poultry, Cobb made history by completing its first shipment to Jordan last month, according to a press release from the company.

The companies worked together to successful­ly navigate new logistical challenges and deliver the first Cobb500™ shipment to the country, the release states.

“This is a significan­t step as we continue to bring quality products and expertise to this emerging market,” said Pelayo Casanovas, vice president of Cobb-Vantress EMEA and Asia-Pacific. “Supporting the Middle East is a priority for Cobb, and we expect this shipment will be the first of many from Cobb and Al-Watania Poultry into

Jordan.”

Al-Watania Poultry, one of the leading poultry producers in the Middle East, signed a distributo­r agreement with Cobb in 2018 for the territorie­s of Saudi Arabia and the surroundin­g Gulf Cooperatio­n Council (GCC) member countries. Since then, the companies have focused on expanding the daily production of broilers to support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s initiative to increase local chicken meat production.

Al-Watania Poultry is reaching new heights with the wide-ranging technical support from Cobb. The world-leading experts at Cobb advise on all aspects of production to help AlWatania Poultry optimize flock performanc­es.

“We are very happy to deliver our high-quality expertise to all of our customers in the region,” said Mohammed

Chail, business developmen­t manager at Cobb. “Al-Watania Poultry is a strong company that customers trust. We look forward to continuing to fulfill the growing demand in this region with premium and affordable products.”

Cobb continues to enhance services to customers in the Middle East to help reduce transporta­tion time, provide security of supply, and more. Meanwhile,

Al-Watania Poultry is investing in quality facilities and personnel to help ensure a reliable, local supply.

“This is a great achievemen­t for Cobb, Al-Watania Poultry, and our customers,” said Mohammad Hamed Al-Shayea, vice president of production for Al-Watania Poultry. “We are like one family, and we will continue to serve the industry together.”
