SUDAIR: Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources and Chairman of the Board of the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones, known as MODON, Bandar Alkhorayef, on Feb. 16, inaugurated several advanced factories to produce food, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and construction materials in Sudair City for Industry and Businesses.
The move is part of the ministry’s efforts to localize high-value industries and enhance the Kingdom’s health and food security.
The minister inaugurated the Sierra Life factory, the first facility in the Middle East specializing in producing medical foods for metabolic disorders.
This strategic investment aims to localize advanced therapeutic food production and integrate the industrial and health sectors to meet medical needs previously heavily reliant on imports.
Alkhorayef reviewed precise production lines for patients with metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria, or PKU, and urea cycle disorders, as well as gluten-free and low-protein products for celiac patients.
