Overview

IFFCO Group is a Sharjah-founded (1975), Dubai-headquartered FMCG and food conglomerate operating roughly 95 facilities across 50-100+ countries (figures vary by source), producing edible oils, dairy, ice cream, biscuits, and personal/home-care goods under brands including London Dairy, Tiffany and Noor. Long privately held by the Allana family, the group entered creditor-led provisional liquidation proceedings around May 2026 after accumulating roughly $2 billion in debt, with an HSBC-led lender consortium pursuing proceedings in Singapore and the Isle of Man and FTI Consulting appointed as provisional liquidators; the company says factories, distribution and retail operations continue running normally during the process.
