About CAPO
CAPO is the brand DAL Food sells dairy under, and the company calls it the leading dairy brand in Sudan. The business began in 1997 as Blue Nile Dairy and now sells pasteurised and long-life milk, plain and fruit yoghurt, cheese, cream, butter and mish, a traditional Sudanese fermented cheese. DAL runs its own refrigerated fleet and supplies branded coolers to retailers, because the cold chain in Sudan cannot be assumed; in 2000 it became the first organisation in the country to hold ISO certification.

About the owner: DAL Group
DAL Group is a privately held company headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan, founded in 1951. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control.
DAL Group calls itself Sudan's largest and most diversified privately owned conglomerate, and dates itself to 1951, when two British businessmen founded Sayer & Colley to trade engineering products such as bearings and belts. Caterpillar later gave it the Sudanese dealership, moved that dealership to Daoud Abdellatif's new company SUTRAC in 1966, and both firms were nationalised in 1970 before returning to private hands by the end of the decade; his eldest son Osama then renamed Sayer & Colley after his father's initials. Its consumer arm is DAL Food, formed in December 2013 from four group companies in agriculture, dairy, flour and soft drinks; the group also holds the Mercedes-Benz and Mitsubishi dealerships for Sudan, an industrial gases producer, a pharmaceutical importer and an international school.
