Mutandis is a Moroccan packaged foods industry leader, with active activities and investments in four consumer goods business categories, including detergents, seafood, drinks and fruit juice sales.

The Moroccan packaged goods company recorded a 20.7-percent rise in revenue from MAD1.4 billion ($146.9 million) in 2020 to MAD1.69 billion ($177.3 million) by the end of 2021, driven by solid sales growth throughout its major operating segments.

Shares in the group were valued MAD250.2 ($25.7) as of press time on March 6, 1.5-percent lower than their starting price on the Casablanca exchange, as investors reduced their positions in the firm.

The company’s shares have declined from MAD268 ($27.53) per share on Dec. 31 to MAD250.2 ($25.7) as of the time of writing this article, resulting in a 6.6-percent loss for shareholders.
