UAE-based retail group, Al Maya, is making a major foray into Thailand.

"We have a 7-member team at Thaifex to look at opportunities to expand our trade in Thai and East Asia products," said Kamal Vachani, Group Director.

Thaifex - World of Food Asia, is being held in Bangkok from May 25-29.

He said Thaifex is Thailand's and East Asia's biggest food products and technology fair and that Al Maya Group is keen to use the platform to source food products for its stores in the UAE.

As part of its focus on Thailand, prior to leaving for Thaifex, Vachani welcomed Komate Kamalanavin, new Ambassador of Thailand in UAE, and introduced Al Maya Group and its activities.

Unnop Buranasate, who has taken over as Consul General of Thailand in Dubai, meanwhile, visited the Al Maya Group’s Supermarket at Muraqabat, Deira.

Vachani said Al Maya imports a large number of FMCG goods from Thailand.

Al Maya Group has more than 40 supermarkets in GCC countries in addition to other businesses.
