Behshahr Industrial

Behshahr Industrial Company is a long-established Iranian manufacturer of edible oils and fats whose operations date back to 1951. Over the decades, the business evolved from agricultural and oilseed processing into an industrial operation focused on the refining, manufacturing and packaging of edible oils and specialty fats. Behshahr Industrial Company operates as a public company and its shares are traded on the Tehran Stock Exchange under the ticker SBEH (غبشهر).

The company's portfolio serves two distinct markets. Its consumer products are marketed through brands including Ladan, Bahar and Nastaran, covering cooking oils, frying oils and other household formats. Alongside the retail business, Behshahr Industrial supplies foodservice and industrial customers with application-specific edible oils and fats, including shortening and products designed for confectionery, bakery and other food-manufacturing applications. The company's own corporate profile identifies both households and industrial users as core customer groups.

Behshahr Industrial's principal manufacturing complex is located at Km 8 of Fath Highway in Tehran, where refining, production, packaging, quality-control and research activities form part of the operating structure. The company also sits within Sepanta Behshahr Company's broader food and distribution portfolio, alongside businesses operating in other segments of Iran's food industry.

From a manufacturing perspective, edible-oil production involves considerably more than packaging refined oil. Crude-oil characteristics, refining conditions, removal of undesirable compounds, oxidative stability and the design of application-specific fat profiles all influence how a finished product performs. These requirements become particularly important in professional and industrial applications, where oils used for continuous frying, bakery, confectionery or food processing must deliver different functional properties from standard household cooking oils. Managing these technically distinct requirements alongside high-volume consumer production is therefore a central part of Behshahr Industrial Company's operating model.
