TEAM
LAUNCHING FIRST MEAT PROCESSING UNIT

This was followed with the establishment of most modern state-of-the-art Abattoir-cum-Meat Processing Plant in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India in 1997. The Plant started commercial production in 1998. It is a 100% Export Oriented Unit.
REVOLUTIONIZING INDIAN MEAT INDUSTRY
Through his acumen in processing of meat and marketing in the state-of-art fully integrated slaughter house-cum-meat processing complex located in Aligarh, the concept in the Indian Meat Industry has completely changed because of the innovative practices adopted by Sirajuddin Qureshi.
He has established backward integration to the meat processing plant by animal rearing with the farmers and in the intensive feedlot, where male buffalo calves are commercially raised. Thus, the concept of ‘FARM TO FORK’ as envisaged in the Codex Alimentarius has been implemented in its truest sense in his establishment with individual identification and traceability as the hallmark which is an essential tool to instill confidence in the consumer. Through the animal rearing project with about 160,000 farmers families, the mortality in calves has been reduced from 80% to 10% and milk production has increased by 15% with the farmers. The economic condition of the families of small and marginal farmers has considerably improved.
Sirajuddin Qureshi has also established network in marketing of meat in South-East Asia, Middle East, CIS countries and Africa and build a name that is trusted by more than 50 countries across the globe. Today, HAIL is synonym of Halal; and EATCCO and SIBACO are Brand Names in International sophisticated markets.

It is on account of Sirajuddin Qureshi’s tireless efforts that the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India, has taken the initiative to establish a National Meat and Poultry Processing Board which was launched by the Hon’ble Minister of Food Processing Industry on 19th February, 2009.
