About Nobo
Nobo was the pasta brand Sayga launched in 2005 when it opened its pasta plant, as part of a deliberate move beyond flour. It is made from 100 per cent semolina using Australian and Canadian wheat on four Bühler lines, in vermicelli, elbow, penne, fusilli, shell and suksukaniya shapes, and DAL says it cooks in half the time of other brands available in Sudan. Pasta has since reached more than 80 per cent of Sudanese households.

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.
