He highlighted that this year the company will be executing a companywide efficiency enhancement and cost reduction programme to deliver annual savings and  commensurate to several percentage points’ improvement in net margins while supply chain strategy is being reviewed to drive an organization that is more responsive to consumer and customer requirement in the face of constantly changing dynamics in the global and domestic markets.

However, in June 1995, a change in the company’s ownership structure led to a change of name to Honeywell Flour Mills Limited (HFML). The entry of the company into the flour milling industry in Nigeria redefined industry standards as its high quality compelled an improvement in the quality of flour products by other players. Over the years HFMP has positioned itself as a market leader in milling, processing & packaging of flour and other wheat based products.
