Two Sourcing Corridors, One Label: Thalim Adds a New Snack Range

Thalim, the FMCG and fresh food brand of CG Investment Holding, launched a new range of flavoured snacks across the UAE and Kuwait on 1 August 2026. The range covers flavoured shelled peanuts and flavoured sunflower seeds, in retail and wholesale formats. The launch extends a label that until now has carried mainly Kerala-sourced staples, including ginger garlic paste and coconut oil. The new range is sourced through the group's operations in China, giving the brand two supply origins under one name.

Where it sits in the group

Thalim is operated by Thalim Foodstuff LLC, the group's FMCG distribution business. It sits within CG Investment Holding, a group of 14 companies operating across the UAE, India, Kuwait and China, with interests in fresh food trade, luxury packaging, FMCG distribution, electrical distribution, agri exports and hospitality.

This is a new milestone for the group. Our team has brought a genuinely special product to the region, and we are supplying nuts across the market at scale. This range comes after extensive trials and refinement, designed specifically for the GCC market. I am confident it will be a game changer for the snack industry in the region.
