Global snacking company Pladis has opened a new headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The site marks a milestone in Pladis’ strategic growth and expansion in the Middle East, North Africa and India (MENAI) region.
Located in the Zahran Business Center in Jeddah, the new office is equipped with new technology and was designed with a focus on sustainability.
Suryakant Pandey, Middle East, North Africa and India managing director at Pladis, explained how the new headquarters is a ‘pivotal step’ in Pladis’ journey towards strengthening its presence in the MENAI region.
Pandey said: “This office embodies our commitment to investing in our people and our business, providing a modern, collaborative space that will drive innovation and growth across our operations. As we continue to expand, this new office will serve as the cornerstone of our regional strategy, enabling us to better serve our customers and communities.”
The office is home to 84 workstations, eight fully equipped meeting rooms and designated spaces designed to cater to the diverse needs of its employees.
The layout was designed to encourage formal and informal interactions, with ‘high-end’ technology integrated throughout, from high-definition CCTV systems and face recognition access controls to ultra-wide monitors and wireless presentation systems in meeting rooms.

During Investor’s Day, Mick Beekhuizen, EVP and president of Meals & Beverages, said that while soup remains an important part of the company’s portfolio, it accounts for a smaller portion than in the past.

The two beverage giants agreed on the deal in July 2024, after Britvic previously rejected an offer of £3bn (approx. $3.95bn) from the Danish brewer in June. Britvic revealed that Carlsberg’s revised offer had the approval of its board and was expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to regulatory approvals.
