NDC received ‘The Saudi Quality Mark’ certification after meeting the required technical standards set by SASO.

The certification will not only allow NDC to export its certified products including Bahar, Oman’s Most Trusted brand, to Saudi Arabia flawlessly but also gives credibility to its quality management system as the quality mark is conferred after a stringent assessment process involving independent third-party accreditation body.

The certification is a recognition of outstanding standards that we adopt and reflect the confidence of SASO with NDC.”

“The Saudi Quality Mark’ certification is a clear recognition of our product quality and standards. It will further reinforce the confidence our customers in the Kingdom have in our products,” he added.
