EXPORT BAHRAIN AND RAMEZ HYPERMARKET ENTER INTO A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Export Bahrain, partners with Ramez Hypermarkets, the retail division of Ramez International Group in the Kingdom of Bahrain- a leading domain for retail sale, and distribution and production of consumer goods to provide a platform showcasing ‘Made in Bahrain’ products at local and international branches of Ramez Hypermarket. This partnership is in line with Export Bahrain’s vision to encourage exports and recognize Bahrain-based brands in markets across the GCC region and further across the world.

Expanding on Export Bahrain’s growing list of partnerships with international hypermarkets under Export Bahrain’s International Retail Buyer Initiative, this initiative is designed to promote, nurture, and accelerate the growth of local businesses and their products by leveraging on the strengths of the region’s key players and in turn, help Bahrain-based businesses grow their footprint around the region.  In doing so, SMEs based in Bahrain can tap into Ramez Hypermarket’s vast customer database within Bahrain and beyond, thus assisting in fueling the growth of SMEs in the Kingdom of Bahrain and creating a successful roadmap to reinforce Bahrain’s position as a strategic global export hub.

To align with long-term interests, Ramez Hypermarkets is set to have a designated section where Bahrain-made products are prominently featured at all Ramez Branches in the Kingdom, GCC countries, and internationally. This will help bring together immense potential benefits for upcoming businesses looking to take their potential to greater heights.

Aiming to drive a far more business impact for SMEs in the Kingdom of Bahrain as a whole, Export Bahrain will be working closely with Ramez Hypermarkets to identify products that meet consumer and market requirements across all product segments. This will add to the hypermarkets’ caliber of products and increase the presence of quality local items for consumers under one roof.

Export Bahrain Acting Chief Executive, Ms. Safa Sharif AbdulKhaliq said: “We are confident that this new strategic partnership will create new opportunities for Bahrain-based businesses, opening up new avenues of global export opportunities as we envision a mutually rewarding scenario for both our clients and customers. We continue to identify innovative partnerships that enable us to stay in the forefront of highlighting Bahrain’s role as a global player for export.

Chief Executive Officer of Ramez International Group, Mr. Mohammed Ramez Alawadhi added: “We are pleased to work with Export Bahrain on this initiative in our beloved Kingdom, and we hope this can benefit small and medium-sized enterprises that provide the highest quality of products for which the Kingdom of Bahrain has been famed for. We believe that this initiative and plan set forth by Export Bahrain will be a success and we look forward to working alongside Export Bahrain to achieve this together.”
