Dubai-based food and beverage company Unikai has announced the removal of its 49% cap on shareholding for investors from Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The move is expected to attract stronger regional investment and boost the company’s growth strategy.
By lifting the limit, Unikai aims to open up greater opportunities for GCC investors to participate in its expansion plans, while strengthening its regional presence in the competitive food and beverage market. Industry analysts believe the decision could improve liquidity, enhance shareholder confidence, and align Unikai more closely with Dubai’s vision of attracting wider investment into key sectors.
Unikai, one of the region’s oldest and most recognized homegrown brands, continues to expand its product lines and distribution networks across the Middle East. The company stated that the move reflects its long-term commitment to growth and inclusivity in its ownership structure.
