The fortunes of one of Saudi Arabia’s leading food companies have been turned around since Saleh Ahmed Hefni took over as CEO in 2007. In the past seven years, Halwani Brothers’ profits have grown from 20 million Riyals ($5.3 million) to nearly 100 million Riyals, while sales have increased to 1 billion Riyals ($267 million).

In this interview, he talks about these objectives, why he will not sacrifice quality to lower prices, re-branding the company, and the possibility of entering the growing health foods market.
