In the heart of District Dadu, Sindh, stands a beacon of innovation in the sugar industry: New Dadu Sugar Mills. Established in 2008 under the ownership of Omni Group, this mill has not only revitalized a once-dormant facility but has also pioneered groundbreaking advancements in sugar production methods.
Reviving a Legacy: From Government Ownership to Private Innovation
New Dadu Sugar Mills has a unique history, originally under the stewardship of the Government of Pakistan through the Pakistan International Development Corporation (PIDC). However, persistent production losses led to its closure in 1999. After a decade of dormancy, Omni Group took the helm in July 2008, ushering in a new era of technological prowess and operational excellence.
Embracing Cutting-Edge Technology
One of the hallmarks of New Dadu Sugar Mills’ transformation is its adoption of state-of-the-art equipment, notably becoming one of the world’s few complete FCB (French technology) plants. The majority of its sugar processing machinery is sourced from FCB, France, including essential components like Boiler Houses, a Power House, Process House, and a Mill House.
