The heart of Signature Snacks pulsates at the centre of the United Arab Emirates. The manufacturer of wafers, crackers, biscuits, chocolate-coated dates, dried fruits and nuts is continuing to expand. Today, the company from Dubai exports its products to 77 countries around the world. And when it comes to weighing and packaging its premium foods, Signature Snacks relies on solutions supplied by Hastamat Verpackungstechnik.
