A Legacy of Passion

The Path to Excellence

The Humble Factory

1994: After gaining experience in chocolate science, Hazem began making unique recipes in his humble kitchen, with some simple tools he had brought with him from Europe. At the time, the art of chocolate making was unknown in the Middle East.

Innovation and Expansion

2004: With the great demand due to the distinctive innovations in the world of chocolate, the expansion came, and the company's first headquarters was built with a large production capacity and the introduction of the (Coanching – Cold) system that added a magical touch to the smoothness of the chocolate. Major manufacturers around the world were invited, who were amazed by the presence of this level of chocolate in the Middle East, which gave us a global reputation for quality. This passion was crowned by the company obtaining international certificates in quality and product safety (ISO 9001, HACCP, Jordanian Quality Certificate, King Abdullah Award for Excellence).

Imad, with his insightful vision, took over the leadership of the sales department, where he unleashed our products in local and international markets, increasing the spread of our products thanks to his great efforts.

As for Imran, his passion went beyond chocolate, to include traditional Arabic sweets. He was creative in integrating baklava, kunafa and nightingale’s nest with the arts of chocolate, creating unique combinations that were appreciated by everyone. He also established a new department for the manufacture of Turkish delight and nougat, to reflect the diversity of our culture and our love for sweets.

A New Generation

2020: With all this passion in the world of chocolate, the flame of passion passed to the third generation of the family. Mohammad Jaar, Hazem’s son, joined the group, benefiting from more than 50 years of accumulated experience and armed with knowledge from the most prestigious German universities, Mohammad began a comprehensive modernization journey in the company. The goal was clear: to transform the production processes into a fully automated system, following the highest standards of quality and safety.

Thanks to these developments, the company has been able to increase its production capacity to approximately 300,000 liters per year of fine chocolate, reflecting our continued commitment to innovation and excellence.
