Stellium Delivers the Middle East’s First SAP Digital Manufacturing Implementation for Al Hatab Foods

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Stellium Inc., a leading SAP consulting and digital transformation partner, today announced the successful delivery of the first-ever SAP Digital Manufacturing (DM) implementation in the Middle East for Al Hatab Foods (formerly Al Hatab Bakery), a subsidiary of Al Dajaan Holding, a major food manufacturer in Saudi Arabia. The milestone project marks a significant advancement in the region’s adoption of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing technologies, positioning Al Hatab Foods as a regional leader in digital manufacturing within the food industry.

The region’s first ever SAP Digital Manufacturing implementation focused on improving real-time production visibility, strengthening shop floor execution, and integrating manufacturing operations with the broader SAP enterprise landscape. 

SAP Digital Manufacturing connects Al Hatab Foods’ previously siloed processes, enabling consistent quality, operational control, and full traceability as the company scales to over 100 retail locations across Saudi Arabia. “This implementation gives us the visibility and control required to support high-volume production while maintaining the quality standards our brand is known for,” said senior leaderership at Al Hatab Foods. 

“This project represents a major milestone for digital manufacturing adoption in the Middle East,” said Manoj Raikar, RVP, Stellium EMEA.

Accelerator-Led Delivery Enables Faster Time-to-Value

A key differentiator of the program was Stellium’s accelerator-led delivery model, supported by 11 pre-configured SAP Digital Manufacturing accelerators. These accelerators helped standardize core manufacturing processes, reduce implementation complexity, and accelerate time-to-value, while ensuring alignment with SAP best practices.

“Our accelerator-led approach allowed us to streamline design decisions and deliver a predictable, efficient implementation with minimal operational disruption,” Raikar added. “This was critical for supporting the customer’s production environment while driving measurable outcomes.”

From discovery and design through go-live, Stellium worked closely with manufacturing, IT, and executive stakeholders to ensure the solution aligned with both operational requirements and long-term business objectives.

Advancing Smart Manufacturing in Saudi Arabia

As manufacturers across the Middle East accelerate their Industry 4.0 initiatives, SAP Digital Manufacturing is playing a critical role in connecting shop floor operations with enterprise systems. The solution implemented at Al Hatab Foods delivers:

  • Real-time shop floor visibility and production monitoring
  • Seamless integration between SAP Digital Manufacturing and SAP ERP
  • Enhanced quality management, traceability, and compliance
  • A scalable manufacturing architecture designed to support future expansion

The implementation supports Al Hatab Foods’ continued business growth by transforming its manufacturing environment into a high-efficiency, data-driven production operation. The company can now scale production to approximately one million meals per month, supporting a diverse product portfolio that includes baked goods, ready meals, dips, and fresh meats.

“SAP Digital Manufacturing has transformed our manufacturing processes from disconnected steps into a transparent and well-orchestrated execution model,” said senior leadership at Al Hatab Foods. “The integrated execution environment now provides real-time insights that support accurate and proactive decision-making across our operations.”

“We are proud to partner with Al Hatab Foods on this landmark initiative,” Raikar said. “This project reflects Stellium’s commitment to helping manufacturers modernize operations and unlock the full value of SAP Digital Manufacturing.”
