www.scitra.ae

Based in the UAE, Scitra is the GCC's market-leading contract manufacturer of home, personal care products and OTC medical products. Our company was established as a professional manufacturing unit over 30 years ago and has undergone a major transition from a powder detergent manufacturer to an advanced technology, multi-process contract manufacturer for leading brand owners.

Based on international best practices, Scitra is committed to constant improvement with a relentless focus on developing products, processes and people, striving to meet the expectations of the most progressive global clients.

Our Business

Scitra was initially founded as a small detergent plant, with a unique vision to produce high quality products 'in the region, for the region'. Today, detergent powder manufacturing is still one of the core activities. Additionally, Scitra now operates four other high-tech, multi-process plants: bar soap production, personal care liquids, home care liquids and aerosols. Scitra was recognized in 2016 for being the Best Export Company by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and the most innovative and most environmentally sensitive company by the British Aerosol Manufacturers' Association.

Scitra works with brand owners early in the product development process, helping to streamline manufacturing processes and create cost effective manufacturing solutions. This allows clients to spend vital resources on brand development and marketing, while avoiding the prohibitive costs and logistics of importing from abroad.
