Link Natural, a subsidiary of CIC Holdings, has expanded its presence in the Middle East by launching in Qatar.
The launch of Link Samahan in Doha, Qatar, marks an important milestone for Link Natural in its ongoing journey to broaden its global footprint and take its world-class products to consumers in all parts of the world. The company started its distribution in Qatar with renowned distribution Company, Group Distribution, the trading arm of Sharaka Holdings, a 50-year-old company operating in 8 diverse sectors with 30 SBUs and over 2,800 skilled professionals.


The Link product range has been introduced across various channels, including General Trade, Hypermarkets, and HORECA (Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes), ensuring its availability to a wide range of customers. The focus is on both ethnic and non-ethnic markets, catering to the diverse population of Qatar, including Qataris themselves. 
Accordingly, Link Samahan is now available in leading hypermarkets in Qatar, such as Safari, Family Food Centre, Souq Al Baladi, Ansar Gallery, as well as renowned Sri Lankan restaurant Well On and popular Philippine restaurant FlaminGo.


The market reception for the product has been exceptional, with Link Samahan being widely accepted as a trusted cold remedy and an everyday immunity-boosting product that can be consumed with tea, coffee, or any hot beverages. During the sampling campaigns conducted at the launch, it received highly positive feedback, particularly from Qataris and Filipinos.
Chathurangi Perera, the Manager of International Business at Link Natural Products, expressed her excitement about commencing the distribution operations in Qatar with Group Distribution. She said, “This marks another significant achievement and milestone in Link Natural’s journey. This collaboration promises to open new avenues for growth and further solidify Link Natural’s position in the global market.”


Sharaka Holdings Director Imran Mohammed said, “We are excited about collaborating with Link Natural Products to provide a pathway for their herbal healthcare and personal care product range to enter the Qatari market. By making the products available through various channels we are providing customers the chance to purchase these world-class products conveniently.”
