Our Operational Philosophies

General Operating Policy
Our extensive experience has shown that in order to achieve maximum client satisfaction, a high level of flexibility has to be maintained on each contract. Therefore, we have developed an "operating philosophy" which allows each contract as much autonomy as possible. The de-centralized day-to-day management of Abela's operations, supported by a full fledged area office, ensures an immediate response to our client's needs. With regular performance management checks by our Operations Management team, new standards are developed and maintained.

Based on this policy of continuous development, Abela has achieved a reputation for performance and total reliability, evidenced by considerable repeat business from satisfied customers.

Food Safety Policy
Our business is characterized by sensitivity towards the wellbeing of those we feed, the people who work for us and our suppliers, quiet simply because food plays a direct part in all our lives. We, therefore, take a step further when it comes to food safety, thus helping our clients to be healthier Each of our staff have been groomed into a "safety center" - coached and exposed to an ambience where a moral responsibility of safe food for our clients has taken shape. Our efforts throughout the years have culminated in the company being certified as meeting the standards of HACCP Codex Alimentarius, an international food standard setting body.

Procurement Policy
All our supplies are closely monitored by the Central Purchasing Department, selecting only the best cuisines, both locally and internationally. All our products are tendered on annual basis maintaining high quality and continuous supply at the most competitive price.

Environment Policy
As part of our mission to provide high quality services to our valuable clients, we are committed to creating an healthy environmental atmosphere and utilize the best practice in all we do. Continual improvement in health, safety and environmental performance is a corporate priority, fully integrated into our business.

And so to conclude...

Going that extra mile and providing added value to our contracts sets us apart from our competitors. We believe in "getting it right" every time. We continuously strive to provide the best in terms of value and satisfaction by research and evaluation of advanced technology, improved equipment and practices within the food industry worldwide. In our continuous efforts towards excellence, we participate in all "Best In Class" workshops and programs aimed at identifying and implementing "Best Practices" at all levels. Finally, aided by a corporate culture that values excellence in service, our standards set us apart from our competitors and provides us with long and lasting partnerships with our clients.
