In Bahrain’s competitive hospitality landscape, one brand has been steadily expanding its footprint inside a well-known hotel complex. What started as a coffee and roasting concept has grown into a diversified group, operating not only a café but also an Indian restaurant, a Lebanese restaurant, and even a spa.
Behind the scenes, this growth brought new operational pressure—especially on packaging.
The person leading this transition was the brand owner’s niece, who managed packaging sourcing and supplier coordination. As the business scaled, she faced a familiar challenge: their existing packaging supply chain could no longer keep up.
Previously, most of their custom packaging—especially coffee cups—was sourced from Dubai. While geographically convenient, the collaboration had clear drawbacks:
- Long production and delivery cycles
- Slow communication
- Limited flexibility
- Higher overall costs
As the brand pushed toward a more premium positioning, they needed more than just a supplier. They needed a partner—one that could deliver consistency, efficiency, and support brand upgrades across multiple product lines.
That’s when they began exploring direct sourcing from China—and eventually connected with MBP.
