The UAE is now home to yet another Guinness World Records title, thanks to a recent record-breaking effort by Sharp Middle East and Africa (Smef) to create the largest packaged food mosaic.

Measuring 24.7 metres (81 feet) in length and 38.6 metres (126 feet) in width, the mosaic consisted of 79,300 packs of food that were put together by 149 employees from Sharp Middle East & Africa.

After completion of the record-breaking mosaic, Sharp donated all the food packages with the total value of Dh107,480 to the UAE Red Crescent Authority. This activity was a part of the larger CSR initiative called ‘Sharp Cares’ that the company actively engages in for the region.

"We’re very proud for breaking the Guinness World Records title for the largest packaged food mosaic and to make UAE a holder of a new record. Sharp is committed to not only serve its regional customers but to also play an increasingly important role in the community,"said Zahid Rahman, General Manager, Business Operations, Sharp Middle East and Africa.

Commenting on the achievement, Mohammed Abdullah Alhaj Al Zaroni, Manager – Dubai branch, Red Crescent Authority, said: "Our heartiest congratulations to Sharp Middle East and Africa on achieving this great feat. Sharp’s initiative demonstrates how large corporations can successfully contribute to those in need while bringing immense pride to the nation. We are extremely grateful to Sharp for their donation as contributions of this scale is what makes a real difference to our ongoing efforts to help those in need within the UAE."

The Guinness World Records title was previously held in Hong Kong where a packaged food mosaic measuring 20.7 metres (67 ft.) in length and 30.9 metres (101 ft.) in width was created in 2009.
