DZL to expand product range

The ZSE-listed company manufactures a wide range of dairy-based food and beverage products.

DZL managing director Mr Thompson Mabika said there was increasing competition in the dairy industry, some of it coming from South African producers.
He said the company has had to re-strategise to beat off competition, including introducing new products and rebranding.

“These (competitors) in a business sense are not threats, but rather encourage us to be more innovative since we are producing for the same market,” Mr Mabika said.

DZL products currently on the market include Chimombe fresh milk, sterilised milk, Lacto, yoghurts, ice creams and salad cream.
The company is in the middle of a restructuring exercise in which it has shut down the Bulawayo and Mutare factories. – New Ziana.
