Construction begins on Pure Ice Cream's AED80 million facility at Dubai Industrial City

Pure Ice Cream starts construction on its AED80 million, 160,000 sq ft Dubai plant, set to boost UAE ice cream production to 50M litres annually by 2026.

"We are looking forward to building the largest ice cream plant in GCC - Gaurav Ghai, Graviss Group"

Dubai, May 15

Dubai Industrial City, part of TECOM Group PJSC, witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Pure Ice Cream facility, valued at AED80 million, in the presence of Mohammed Shael Al Saadi, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade, along with several leaders from the industrial and food sectors.

Spanning 160,000 square feet, the facility will be among the UAE's largest ice cream manufacturing plants upon its launch in 2026. It is expected to boost Pure Ice Cream's annual production capacity to 50 million litres.

"Dubai Industrial City's ecosystem is geared to strengthen the supply chain of 'Made in UAE' products for long-term economic prosperity," said Saud Abu Alshawareb, Executive Vice President of Industrial at TECOM Group PJSC, on behalf of Dubai Industrial City. "Pure Ice Cream's facility reflects the country's strength as an international food production hub, and we champion manufacturers to contribute towards Operation 300bn, Make it in the Emirates, Dubai Economic Agenda 'D33', and National Food Security Strategy 2051."

Pure Ice Cream, part of Graviss Group, signed a musataha agreement with Dubai Industrial City during the SIAL Paris international food and beverage exhibition in October 2024.

The new facility will use biodegradable packaging for the facility's three-gallon product line, as well as incorporate solar power, in line with its goal of achieving carbon-neutrality through the project that will create 60 additional jobs upon completion.

"We are looking forward to building the largest ice cream plant in GCC and exporting products to over 20 countries from Dubai," said Gaurav Ghai, Chairman of Graviss Group. (ANI/WAM)

Impressive investment by Pure Ice Cream! Dubai is becoming a global food hub while we struggle with basic infrastructure for food processing in India. Hope our government takes notes from UAE's industrial policies. The biodegradable packaging is a great initiative too 🌱

50 million litres of ice cream annually? That's mind-blowing! 😲 But I wonder how they'll manage the dairy supply - will they import milk powder from India/NZ or source locally? UAE's food security strategy seems more advanced than ours.

Good to see Indian-origin businessman Gaurav Ghai leading this project. Shows how our entrepreneurs are making global impact. Though I wish they'd consider setting up similar plants in India - we have the dairy resources and market potential!

Solar power + biodegradable packaging = perfect combo! ❤️ UAE is showing how industries can be sustainable. Our Indian companies should adopt these practices too. Amul, are you listening? Maybe a collaboration opportunity here...

While this is impressive, I'm concerned about the water usage for such large-scale ice cream production in a desert country. Hope they've planned proper water recycling systems. Sustainability claims need to be backed by actual data.
