An exceptional journey through three decades of excellence and creativity How one man’s vision turned into a food empire serving millions of families
In a world dominated by big companies and mass production, Al Manfoush stands as a living witness that big dreams start with small steps, and that a true passion for quality can turn a simple family project into an inspiring success story spanning three decades.
This is not just a story of a company, but a profound human tale that tells of persistence and determination, of a dream turned into reality, and of a vision that has become a legacy of which all who bear the name of the fluffy are proud. It is the story of Mohieddin Al-Manfoush, the man who believed that true quality comes from the heart before it comes from factories, and that authentic taste is born from passion, not from machines.
Historical turning point: from traditional craftsmanship to cutting-edge technology The year 2004 is considered a decisive turning point in the history of Al-Manfoush, a year that witnessed a radical transformation in the way the company operates and the scope of its ambitions. This transformation was not just an expansion in production or an increase in production capacity, but rather a real revolution in the concept of the dairy and cheese industry, a revolution that combined the antiquity of tradition with the modernity of technology. The decision to move from the artisanal stage to the modern stage was not an easy or spontaneous decision. It required in-depth studies, careful planning, and great boldness to take a step that could change the entire course of the company. Mohieddin Al-Manfoush, with his usual wisdom, realized that the time had come to move towards broader horizons, and that the market required greater production capabilities without sacrificing the quality for which the company was famous. Building the company’s new structure was a huge project that required large investments and elaborate engineering planning. The goal was not just to build a larger factory, but to create an integrated complex that combines the latest international technologies with the highest standards of quality and safety. Every detail of the design was carefully thought out, from advanced cooling systems to automated production lines, from quality laboratories equipped with the latest equipment to storage areas designed according to the highest standards. Importing foreign production lines was an important strategic step that required extensive research and careful selection. The company was not looking for any technology, but rather for the best technology that ensures the preservation of authentic taste while increasing efficiency and productivity. The selected technologies were from the best international companies specialized in the dairy equipment industry, and were customized and modified to suit the company’s specific needs. The inclusion of new varieties under the “Puffy” logo heralded the company’s entry into a new phase of diversity and innovation. Processed cheese spreads, Kashkaval cheese and mozzarella were all products that required high technical expertise and a deep understanding of consumer tastes. Each new product was the result of months of research, development and testing, until it reached the desired level of quality and taste. This transformation was not just internal development, but it was also the beginning of the journey of regional expansion. The company began looking to neighboring Arab markets, and began developing export strategies that would carry the Manfoush name to new countries.
From the local market to the Arab markets: the journey of expansion and spread The period between 2004 and 2008 witnessed a radical shift in the scope of Al-Manfoush’s work, as the company moved from being a strong local player to being a recognized regional brand. This transformation was not just a geographical expansion, but rather a comprehensive development in vision, strategy and capabilities. The beginning of the export journey was a bold step that required an in-depth study of the target markets and a deep understanding of the needs and preferences of consumers in neighboring countries. The company did not want to simply sell its products in new markets, but rather aimed to build a strong and sustainable presence that reflects the values of quality and authenticity that distinguish it. Choosing sisterly neighboring countries as a starting point for regional expansion was a smart strategic decision. These markets share food culture and traditions with the Syrian market, which means that Manfoush products will find natural acceptance among consumers. Geographical proximity also facilitates logistics and distribution operations. The biggest challenge at this stage was maintaining high quality while significantly increasing production volume. This required developing advanced quality systems and training teams at the highest levels. Every stage of production has been redesigned and improved to ensure the high standards for which the company is known are maintained. Success in foreign markets was not only the result of the high quality of the products, but also of a smart marketing strategy that focused on the brand’s core values: authenticity, quality, and heritage. The company did not try to imitate competitors or follow prevailing trends, but rather focused on providing something distinctive and authentic. Building a distribution network in new markets was a major logistical challenge that required huge investments in infrastructure and strategic partnerships. The company not only relied on local distributors, but also invested in building its own distribution capabilities to ensure that its products reach consumers in the best possible condition. Consumer reactions in the new markets were very encouraging. Many customers expressed their admiration for the distinctive taste and high quality of Al-Manfoush Company’s products, and began to consider them a preferred choice for their families. This wide acceptance served as confirmation of the validity of the strategy and the quality of the products.
A food empire with 500+ employees: the bright present and promising future Today, Al Manfoush stands as one of the leading companies in the dairy and cheese industry in the Middle East, with a team of more than 500 employees and specialized experts.

From small farm to food empire: a success story that continues The story of Almarai Al-Dimashqiya is not just the story of a company that succeeded in the business world, but rather the story of a dream come true, a story of belief in quality and excellence, and a story of commitment to values and principles. From a small farm with ten employees to a food empire with more than 500 experts and specialists, the journey has been long and challenging, but it has also been full of achievements and successes. Today, when we look to the future, we see a broad prospect of opportunities and possibilities. We see new markets waiting for our products, we see new technologies that can improve the quality of our products, and we see new generations of consumers who value quality and authenticity.

We will remain the company that puts quality above all else, and that believes that the real taste comes from the heart before it comes from the factories. Al-Manfoush today is not just a company, but a large family that includes employees, customers, suppliers, and everyone who believes in our vision and mission. This family grows and expands every day, but maintains the spirit of familiarity and love that has characterized it from the beginning.
From a simple dream to an extraordinary reality: the beginnings that changed the course of the dairy industry In 1993, in the heart of the fertile Damascene countryside, the idea of Manfoush was born out of passion and love for true quality. The beginning was not as dazzling or huge as some might expect, but rather simplicity in its most beautiful and truest sense. A small farm, ten loyal employees, and a big dream of producing the finest natural dairy products that match the best international standards. Mohieddin Al-Manfoush, the founder and vision behind this success, did not dream of fame or wealth, but rather he dreamed of something deeper and more noble: to provide every Syrian family with natural and healthy dairy products that carry within them the fragrance of the authentic Damascene heritage and uncompromising quality. In those early days, everything was done in time-honored traditional ways. Fresh milk comes directly from cows that are fed on the finest types of natural fodder.Labneh is made in the traditional way that has been passed down through generations, and the cheese is aged with patience and craftsmanship that reflects the depth of the Syrian heritage in the manufacture of dairy products. The task was not easy at first. The market was full of great competitors, the possibilities were limited, and the challenges were many. But what distinguished Mohieddin Al-Manfoush from others was not the size of capital or the power of machines, but rather the deep belief that true quality would find its way into people’s hearts, and that authentic taste would speak for itself. Distribution during that period was very limited, limited to neighboring stores and limited areas in the capital, Damascus. But this limited distribution was actually a blessing in disguise, because it allowed the company to focus on quality rather than quantity, and build a strong reputation based on excellence and mastery. The first customers were not just customers, they were witnesses to the birth of something exceptional. Everyone who tasted Manfoush products in that early period immediately realized that he was facing something different, something that carried the spirit of authenticity and the fragrance of heritage, something that reminded him of the taste of childhood and beautiful memories.
A Decade of Learning and Growth: How Manfoush Built the Foundations of Sustainable Success The first ten years of Al-Manfoush’s life were not just an ordinary period of growth, but rather a real school in which the company learned the most important lessons of success and sustainability. In this period, the company’s philosophy crystallized, its true identity was formed, and the strong foundations were laid that will carry the company to broader horizons in the future. Mohieddin Al-Manfoush, with his wisdom and foresight, realized from the beginning that true success does not come from being satisfied with what has been achieved, but rather from constantly striving for development and improvement. He was not satisfied with being a good dairy producer in a limited area, but rather dreamed of becoming a pioneer in the field on a broader level. During this period, the company invested heavily in research and development. The goal was not simply to increase production, but to improve quality and develop new products that met changing market needs. Each new recipe was subjected to careful testing, and each new product went through long development stages until it reached the required level of quality and taste. Also in this period, the company began to build a strong network of relationships with local farmers. These were not just trade relations, but real partnerships based on mutual trust and mutual benefit. The company provided farmers with the technical support and training necessary to improve the quality of milk, and in return obtained high-quality raw materials that ensure the excellence of its final products. The biggest challenge in this period was balancing between preserving the traditional methods that distinguish the company’s products, and applying modern technologies that ensure efficiency and quality. This challenge required great wisdom and experience, and the company succeeded in finding the ideal balance that combines the originality of taste and the modernity of production. Customers during this period noticed the continuous development in the company’s products, not only in taste and quality, but also in packaging and variety. The company carefully listened to its customers’ comments and suggestions, and translated these comments into tangible improvements in its products. By the end of this period, Al-Manfoush had established itself as a trusted name in the local market, and began to look to broader horizons. The foundations were strong, the team was cohesive, and the vision was clear. Everything was in place to launch into the next phase of growth and expansion
