Cupid Limited has received in-principle approval from its Board of Directors to set up a new fast-moving consumer goods manufacturing facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The proposed investment marks an important milestone in the company’s international expansion strategy and strengthens its global manufacturing footprint.
