IBFI as one of the market leaders in the UAE beverage industry produces an extensive range of canned & bottled drinks under our flagship brand STAR. Our portfolio includes Star Juices, carbonated soft drinks , water and our famous Star soda & signature soda range. In line with the consumers desire for healthier and lower calorie products we recently introduced 100% Juice which has NO added sugar and our guilt-free Stevia juices which are low on Calories. Another trend which has taken over the food industry are Superfoods. Superfood beverages refer to refreshing drinks offering several nutritional benefits to people with hectic lifestyle. These people demand on-the-go nutrition as they do not have enough time to sit and have intake of daily nutritional requirements. The F&B industry is being revolutionized with this healthy twist of nutrient-rich foods which we see as an innovation opportunity and a great value addition to our portfolio.
