Nejati Industrial Group - Anata
* 1937-1967 Small Workshop
My happy memories of childhood formed from a small sugar cast shop on an old street in Tabriz.
My father was moulding white sugar into cone sugar and I had never imagined that small workshop would be one of the Iranian food companies. Traditional sweet called Shekar-Panir (sugared cheese) was the second one we had produced in our workshop which has found many consumers in the north and northwest of Iran. Our products became well-known in the markets immediately and we were encouraged to make new products.
* 1967-1974 Next steps towards Industrialization
That year we bought a big workshop in El-Goli Road in Tabriz and ran the first automatic production line of toffee and candy there. Remarkable development of the workshop started from 1972, just in short time, we had 2-3 production lines and set up a big store to supply our products. Developing Anata products, we had to separate candy and toffee machines from the sugar workshop and moved them to a new place, i.e. present location of our factory.
* 1974-1983 Nejati Industrial Group
With our products welcomed by the people in Tabriz and other cities, we decided to set up a large factory for producing other sorts of chocolate and confectionaries. registered “ Nejati Industrial Group” that is located in 6 km of Tabriz-Tehran Road. Over a year, we ran mechanized production line of biscuit and wafer. From 1977, the first productions of biscuit and wafer with our registered brand, ANATA, put into the market. Our active work on that time was sugar, candy, wafer, toffee and biscuit production lines. With regard to the brisk demand in ANATA products, we decided to set up our branches and our products have been exported to the adjoining countries from 1980.
* 1983-1989 Concentration
That was necessary to concentrate in order to development of ANATA. For this reason, the sugar workshop was separated from the complex of ANATA Industry, and the candy and toffee's machineries were transmitted from El-Goli workshop to the place of our factory in 1985. In this year, we set up the production line of Chocolate. Over these years, we kept on producing our products, but for the Iran-Iraq War(1980-1988),there was no remarkable development.
* 1989-2000 Remarkable Development
In this year with the end of war, my sons called Mohammad Javad and Mohammad Reza whose childhood and school years were spent with me in my small factory, joined ANATA officially which was a great culmination in the development of ANATA. We were three persons and were able to run all production lines of plain and éclair toffees, creamy and plain biscuits, chocolate and plain wafers, and kinds of candies in various packages and shapes. In 1995, we exported our products to the east Europe, the Middle Asia, and newly developed countries. In 1991, we have done a long outline for development of ANATA, and up to now we have added one or more machines for our production lines each year. Presently, we are all together so as to manage the ANATA group and have stared at next brilliant horizons.
