OSEN Factory
A chocolate manufacturing facility in Jeddah; AZEIDK handled the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of its fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Built as a specialised chocolate manufacturing facility, OSEN Factory in Jeddah was delivered as a design-and-build project and covers approximately 2,743 m². In a plant of this size, production lines, raw-material stores, packaging and finished goods sit close together, which directly shapes how safety systems are laid out.
Why fire and life safety matter in a chocolate factory
Chocolate production handles more combustible material than its product suggests. Sugar and cocoa powder can form combustible dust around milling, mixing and packing points, and cocoa butter and other fats make a fire burn hotter once it starts. Lines run heating and cooling equipment with significant electrical loads, while paper, cartons and plastic wrapping build up in stores. In a food plant the damage does not stop at the flames: smoke can spoil stock and halt production until hygiene standards are restored. Early detection and a fast response in the first minutes of a fire protect both the people on the floor and the factory’s ability to keep running.
AZEIDK’s role
In this factory, AZEIDK handled the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection, alarm and security systems according to the project requirements.
