Beginnings
In its early beginnings, Al-Yaman started as a small factory with its supply and testing coming from a small laboratory. Mahmoud Al-Yaman was very well known for his popular and very tasty sweets. At that time, all sweets he was producing from halawa, tahini, to Turkish delights were all handmade and sold mainly to Sidon and nearby villages.
Technology
With the rapid technological advancements and the increase in demand for the now very popular tasting products. It was no longer feasible to continue hand making our diverse products. By using state of the art technologies and foreign consultations, we inaugurated our state of the art factory responsible for the full production of the best Halawa, Tahini & Turkish delights on the market.
Retirement
After his retirement, Mahmoud Al-Yaman passed the torch and full control to his sons Samih Al Yaman and his sons. His sons who were already trained and had already worked a lot with their father, continued to excel in their father’s tradition. They had a vision of their own and wanted to diversify the company’s product line, and expand their business to reach the whole of Lebanon.
Automation
With machinery involved and now that the production process is fully automated, we were one of the first sweet production facilities to obtain an ISO 9001 for high quality management of food safety. Our factory was a pioneering marvel at the time, contributing immensely to our future success…
