Since then, Mr. Soleimani has established a new production plant almost every year and his Holding, Solico Group, presently consists of more than companies. Based on his vast local market experience, special consideration has been given to vertical integration for the business expansion. Also implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning by means of ERP has been introduced to ensure further efficiency in the huge supply chain. Tehran Meat Products Co., established in with a daily production of hamburger patties, is now grown to a producer of over tonnes per day of various meat products.

One of the most important points after the acquirement of raw material is transportation of these materials to warehouses around the country as well as to the manufacturing sectors. They need modern and efficient trucks for transportation, which should be loaded quickly and delivered in the shortest time possible to the subsidiary manufacturing facilities of the Solico Company across the country to maintain their high quality.
