About the Client: Al Maseka
Al Maseka is a prominent name in the Saudi food market, renowned for its commitment to high-quality food products. As a family business, the company is led by Mohammad (the owner) and managed locally by his eldest son. Their strategic focus on localizing food manufacturing has allowed them to build a portfolio of trusted, innovative, and high-quality consumer brands, including their famous Gury Chocolate Factory.
To support diverse product lines - from chewy gummy bears to premium enrobed chocolates - Al Maseka needed versatile, food-safe processing equipment. This led them to adopt a multi-function gummy depositor capable of handling various textures and molds, ensuring flexibility across batches.
Their production floor now features a food grade gummy depositor system, compliant with international safety standards, ensuring every product meets strict hygiene requirements. This investment in confectionery making equipment has significantly boosted consumer trust and brand reputation.
The Partnership Journey: Building Trust Step-by-Step
Phase 1: The Initial Trial (2022)
The Challenge: As a startup, Al Maseka needed versatile equipment that could handle diverse product needs without a massive upfront investment.
● The Solution: They placed a trial order for a Siemens small enrobing machine.
● The Outcome: Chengdu LST provided customized multi-set distribution plates that perfectly matched Al Maseka's early-stage requirements. This successful trial broke the ice and built the foundation of trust.
Phase 2: Capacity Expansion (Year 2)
The Challenge: With the business growing, Al Maseka needed to significantly boost output.
● The Solution: Based on their satisfaction with the first machine, they upgraded to a 32-cavity 3D enrobing machine.
● The Outcome: This machine dramatically improved production efficiency, allowing Al Maseka to meet rising market demand.
Relationship Management & Results
Beyond the hardware, the relationship is strengthened by personalized service. Chengdu LST's sales team maintains close contact through emotional care, such as sending personal gifts, which has deepened the bond between the two companies.
The Results:
● High Retention: Al Maseka continues to reorder and has added more tempering and depositing machines to their roster.
● Referrals: Satisfied with the quality and service, the client has actively introduced new customers to Chengdu LST.
● Stability: The current production lines are running stably, supporting Al Maseka's status as a top-tier food producer in the region.
The gummy production equipment has reduced waste by 18% and increased throughput, while the precision dosing equipment ensures uniform product weight and shape - critical for retail packaging.
