All To Know As Okin Biscuits Resumes Production After 17 Years

Okin Biscuits Resumes Production

If you grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s, then you know this is the most exciting news ever. Okin Biscuits is making a comeback to the Nigerian market after a 17-year hiatus as it resumes production after the restart of its production line at its factory in Offa, Kwara State.

The company made the announcement via its social media handles on Wednesday, revealing that it was a major milestone.

The company said the development followed extensive rehabilitation of the production line after critical components, including cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors, and other electronic equipment, were stolen during the years the factory remained inactive.

According to the company, the exercise was a technical trial run rather than a product trial, with the primary objective being to determine whether the long-dormant production line could be brought back to life.

The statement read in part, “For the first time in 17 years, biscuits rolled off one of our rehabilitated production lines at the factory in Offa. We had to rebuild the line after having all cables, frequency drives, contactors, motors, and other electronic components stolen.

“This was a technical trial run, not a product trial. At this stage, we were not concerned about colour, appearance, or achieving the final Okin recipe. The objective was simple: Can we bring this line, silent for 17 years, back to life? And we did.”

“There is still work ahead. More testing. More calibration. More rehabilitation. And, of course, getting that familiar Okin taste and quality exactly right before the biscuits return to the market,” the statement added.

The company, however, is yet to announce an official date for the full return of Okin Biscuits to the market.
