ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, we express our gratitude to Almighty Allah, the sources of knowledge
and wisdom endowed to mankind, we have revealed unto you in order that you might
lead mankind out of darkness into light by their Lord's Leave to the Path of the AllMighty, the Owner of all Praise.
As a matter of fact, people tend to forget those who are behind their achievements and
have stood for them whenever they have needed assistance. A Malayan Proverb is One
can pay back the loan of gold but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind.
Realizing the fact we express our gratitude to those who have helped us throughout in
this project. In fact it will be rightful to say that without their co-operation this effort may
have ended up in disaster.
Our gratitude will be meaningless if we are not grateful to Allah for His kindness upon
us. His benevolence and blessings have made us capable. We are whole-heartedly
thankful to Him.
We are very thankful to our teacher Mr. Waqar Ahmed Sb. His sincere cooperation has
helped us to complete this project.
We are also very thankful to the institution of which we have been a part. And last but
not least, we pay gratitude to our parents who have supported us through out and have
been very helpful and co-operative. We are very thankful to them.

Introduction to Bubble Gum:

Bubblegum is nothing but a special kind of chewing gum. Only they are less viscous than
the chewing gums to facilitate bubbles blowing. They are usually pink in color and have
a characteristic sweet and fruity flavor. Popular among people of all ages, several brands
of bubble gums are available today. One always feels curious about the background of
things they love. How they are made and where they came from are the commonest
questions that haunt the die hard bubble gum lovers. Here is a brief history of bubble
gum to satisfy their curiosity.
History of Bubble Gum:

The earliest form of bubble gum was known as Blibber-Blubber gum. The credit for
making the first bubble gum goes to Frank Fleer who invented the juicy chew long back
in 1906. But this first bubble gum of the world met with a tragic fate. In the absence of
proper marketing the Blibber-Blubber gums were never sold.
In the year 1928, Walter Diemer who was an employee of the Frank H. Fleer Company,
invented an improved version of bubble gum by modifying Fleers original recipe. It is
Diemer who was the pioneer in turning the bubble gum into pink. It is interesting to note
that he used nothing else other than pink because at that time only pink color was
available at his disposal. In appearance as well as in taste it was truly an improvement
over the initial product. The result was predictable and this creation of Diemer, which
was called Double Bubble gum, became an instant hit. This marked the beginning of a set
of successful attempts in bubble gum making and marketing.
During World War II, Topps Company, another gum giant introduced a new brand of
bubblegum called Bazooka. Their aggressive marketing strategies involved the launching
of a small comic strip based on the character Bazooka Joe which was offered as a
package with the gums. This was the first time from when bubble gums started to
represent fun and raw energy.
Today there are many bubble gum manufacturing companies who really worked hard for
the improvement of quality of the bubble gums in terms of taste as well as non sticking
properties. Bubble Tape, Big League Chew, Bubble Yum and Bubblicious are some of the
big shots. Some of them sponsor big international events like bubble blowing contests.
Since their inception in 2002 by Doble Bubble, they have become extremely popular and
reached out to other corners of the globe.
More than a brand name

a symbol of quality
Introduction Asian Foods:

Asian Food Industries Limited (ASIAN FOOD INDUSTRIES) is the manufacturer of
Mayfair Brand confectionery products from Pakistan. The company has been marketing
its premier quality sugar confectionery products in the domestic and export market for
more than thirty years. Setup in 1969, ASIAN FOOD INDUSTRIES was located in
Karachi, commercial hub & port city of Pakistan. With the diversification into textile
business, it was decided to consolidate Mayfair Groups plant locations. The production
facility of ASIAN FOOD INDUSTRIES was relocated to Raiwind Industrial Area.
Raiwind a satellite town 30 kilometers from Lahore, also houses Mayfair Spinning Mills
Limited. Mayfair Group takes pride in both its businesses; Mayfair Spinning produces
100% cotton yarn of premium quality for the export market.
Asian Food Industries takes pride in its professional team administering work with the
aid of the latest management and communication systems. The ASIAN FOOD
INDUSTRIES team is 550 strong, highly motivated and dynamic professionals.
Asian Food Industries with a strong customer focus has independent marketing teams for
the domestic and international markets. The company lays a strong emphasis on
employee development and career progression. Individuals ready to take up the high
paced challenge are provided a conducive environment.
Domestic Market Network:

The Pakistani market is largely trade driven with more than 60% of the sales coming
from the 400 wholesale markets spread all across Pakistan. This trend is now giving way
5
to more sophisticated distribution mechanisms. Mayfair has a distribution network of 375

distributors
covering
the
length
&
breadth
of
the
country.
The sales & marketing team of Asian Food Industries is lead by General Manager
Marketing. The company has structured its sales organization into three regions to ensure
availability of its products throughout Pakistan, a country of 140 million plus population.
The sales team is lead by a National Sales Manager, managing a Regional Managers,
Zonal Managers and dynamic sales officers. In all the sales & distribution network is
energized by a team of 100 sales executives.
Production Facility:
Mayfair currently has the capacity to produce 81 tons of sugar confectionery per day. The
product category with the largest market share, as well as biggest production capacity, is
Deposited Candy. This is followed by Hard Boiled Candies, Bubble Gums, Toffees,
Chew Toffees and Soft-boiled Toffees. Asian Foods foray into sweet confectionery was
with
the
manufacture
of
candies
and
toffees.
In 1979 Mayfair became the first company to introduce bubble gum to the Pakistani
market. To fulfill this latent need of the consumers, Mayfair bought the first fully
automated and computerized bubble gum machine from Gabler and Rose Theegarten
with
capacity
of
producing
five
tons
per
day.
Subsequent expansion occurred with the introduction of the chew toffee line consisting of
a computerized Terberaak, Gabler and Rose Theegarten plant. Further addition of
capacities added new machines of Ruffinati, Hoberger, Bosch and Hansella. Latest
acquisition of a deposited candy plant from Bepex, Terberaak, Eurosicma and GD Acma
allows ASIAN FOOD INDUSTRIES to produce deposited candy on a modern plant and
matching the premium quality candies produced by the notable international market
leaders.
History of Asian Foods:

Late Mr. Mehboob Elahi established Asian food Industries in 1969 with an objective to
produce "international quality" confectionery products in Pakistan. Through sheer
hardwork, fair business dealings and unmatched quality products, Mr. Mehboob Elahi
succeeded in making Asian Food Industries the undisputed market leader in Pakistan.
Mr. Jawed Iqbal, son of Mr. Mehboob Elahi, joined the group in mid seventies Modern
education and a broad western exposure, assisted Mr. Jawed Iqbal in modernizing and
further expanding business. His deep business insight and effective marketing
methodologies are his major strengths. His immense experience led him to set up, He
thought of setting up a spinning unit. The group again worked with utmost zeal and
devotions and finally in 1993, Mayfair Spinning was installed and started giving fruitful
results.
Recently, Mr. Jawed Iqbal's son Mr. Shahid Iqbal has joined the group. He has been
trained extensively in the United States and his vigor and knowledge of modern
textiles/spinning has resulted in an overall uplift of yarn's quality being manufactured at
Mayfair Spinning Mills.

Situation Analysis:
Situation analysis is a term which involves evaluating the situation and trends in a
particular company's market. Situation analysis is often called the "three c's", which
refers to the three major elements that must be studied:
General State of Economy:

Pakistan is an Islamic and rapidly developing country which has faced a number of
challenges on both political and economic fronts... Majority of people lived in ruler areas.
Agriculture is the mainstay of Pakistan's economy, employing almost 50% of the
population. Wheat, rice, cotton, sugarcane, and tobacco are the chief crops, and cattle and
sheep are raised. Most of Pakistan's agricultural output comes from the Indus basin. The
country is now self-sufficient in food, as vast irrigation schemes have extended farming
into arid areas, and fertilizers and new varieties of crops have increased yields.
Pakistan's industrial base is able to supply many of the country's needs in consumer
goods, although production has slowed in recent years. The country's natural resources
provide materials for such industries as textile production (the biggest earner of foreign
exchange), oil refining, metal processing, and cement and fertilizer production.
Remittances from Pakistanis working abroad constitute the second largest source of
foreign exchange. Since the mid-1950s electric power output has greatly increased,
mainly because of the development of hydroelectric power potential and the use of
thermal power plants. Pakistan's major imports are petroleum, machinery, transport
equipment, chemicals. The chief trading partners are the European Union nations, the
United States, Japan, and China. In the late 1990s, following years of lax fiscal policies,
Pakistan appeared on the verge of bankruptcy, with a foreign debt of over $30 billion.
Customers:
ASIAN FOOD INDUSTRIES owner of Mayfair Brand has been marketing its products
since 1969 in the international and domestic market. The company pursuing an
aggressive marketing strategy and adhering to trade mark rules & regulations of its
international markets, supplies under alternate trade marks in number of countries.
Starting with a modest plant base, but with steady growth and induction of new machines
and technology, Mayfair today has a leading share in the Pakistans domestic market of
sugar
confectionery.
Mayfair is currently the market leader in Deposited Candy category with the brand of
Mayfair Creamers in the domestic market. The company has achieved significant
success in marketing its candies & toffees in more than 20 countries of the globe. The
company strives to continually develop new products for differing taste preferences in
diverse
markets.
Asian Foods also has a rich experience of supplying its premium quality confectionery
products to international marketing companies under their prestigious brands. This allows
the company to continually learn from global experiences of large corporations.

Costs:
Cost of a product depends upon different economical factors, GDP, GNP, Dollar rate of
market, fluctuation in oil market.
Competition:
After launching this product our company has to face number of local competitors. These
all companies are well established in the same products. These companies are HILAL,
KINGS FOOD, UNION, krihman, B.P etc.
Product market:
Product type, varieties, and brands;
Mayfair has a wide variety related to sweets. They are dealing with toffees, bubbles and
chocolates also. Their brand is Mayfair.
Sale volume and trends:

Their sales volume is in a very good proportion a compare to other sweet brands. There is
a perfect competition in market.
Growth rate:
As mentioned earlier there is a perfect competition in market but due to good quality and
reasonable prices their growth rate is very good. But unfortunately we are unable to give
exact facts and figure about Mayfair here.
11
Market share:
Market share of Mayfair is approximately 40% candy land has a share of 30% and others
cater market share of remaining 30%.
Uncontrollable environments
Political analysis:
Political analysis is as follows:
Political instability:
Politically Pakistan is not a stable country. General elections are expected in near future.
And the current situation of politics in unpredictable. So, this is not a right time to invest
in Pakistan in such a political situation.
Taxes:
Another major issue here is the uncontrollable rise in taxes. Govt. is implementing a huge
load on investors and manufacturers in terms of taxes. They charge taxes on sales of the
company. Another important point is that as there is not a fair politics so those having
personal contacts in parliament can easily get favor in tax relaxation. This helps others to
gain much profit due to illegal approach and favoritism.
12
Imports & exports:

Govt. has strict policies for impost. In case of taxes and quotas if we would import our
raw material from abroad it will affect our cost.
Animal fats:
We can also face a political issue if in manufacturing of our product we use animal fats.
As it is not hilal by Islamic law and also is forbidden in Pakistans constitution.
Relationship with non- Muslim countries:

Govt. is also making friendly relation ship with non Muslim countries and opposition is
not ready to accept it. If special food preservatives would be import from Israel or
Sweden then it would be a great problem as opposition would not allow us to do so. So
we have to take care in this context also.
Paper work:
We can also face problem in paper work during launch of our product. Because in
Pakistan there is a strong control of bureaucracy and we can face problem in order to get
copy rights of our products.
Prices of related goods:

Due to rising price of petrol it can increase our cost. Because due to increasing prices of
petrol it affects the price of every other good.
Govt. friendly policies for foreign investors:

Another political issue is that Govt. is attracting foreign investors they are promoting
them a lot. If in case any foreign investor invests in this industry then it can be a threat
for us. On other hand govt. has strict policies for exporters. Especially china has
penetrated in Pakistans economy on a large scale due to friendly relationship this can be
a threat.
Tattoos:
The packaging of our product must be according to our cultural values and norms. If they
are against the values then it can face rejection from politicians which latterly can affect
our image in customers.
13
Govt. policies for copy right:

There is no such law for copy right in Pakistan and there is not any implementation in its
favor food industry is facing a great problem because in remote areas and different small
retail shops we found third class product having a name of Mayfairs.

Technological analysis:
We are launching our product under name of Mayfair. We have plant for production and
for our new product we have not to bring new technology and new development. This
will benefit us in our cost saving and it would be a great strength for us. As bubble gum
is made by cooking all ingredients in large containers so we dont require new
technology for it.
Mayfair currently has the capacity to produce 81 tons of sugar confectionery per day. The
product category with the largest market share, as well as biggest production capacity, is
Deposited Candy. This is followed by Hard Boiled Candies, Bubble Gums, Toffees,

The Manufacturing Process

RAW MATERIAL REQUIRED
Sugar (Sucrose)
Liquid Glucose
Citric Acid
Flavors and colors
45
Packaging material
Paraffin wax
Dusting powder
Other material required for special gum.
While the specific ingredients in gum might be a secret, the process for making gum is
not. The first chewing gum making machine wasn't even patented, and today the
procedure is considered standard throughout the industry.
Preparing the chicle
1 If natural latex is to be used, it must first be harvested and processed. The tall
32.79 yard (30-meter) chicle tree is scored with a series of shallow Xs, enabling
the chicle to flow down into a bucket. After a significant
46
Chewing gum base consists either of natural latex or a synthetic substitute.

Natural latex such as chicle is harvested by making large X-marks on rubber trees
and then collecting the substance as it runs down the tree. After grinding the base
to form a coarse meal, the mixture is dryed for a day or two.
Next, the mixture is heated in large kettles while the other ingredients are added.
Large machines then pummel, or "knead," the mass until it is properly smooth and
rubbery, and it is put on a rolling slab and reduced to the proper thickness.
Amount of chicle has accumulated; it is strained and placed in large kettles.
Stirred constantly, it is boiled until it reduces to two-thirds of its original volume.
It is then poured into greased wooden molds and shipped.
Grinding, mixing, and drying the

latex
2 The natural and/or artificial gum bases are first ground into a coarse meal and
mixed to ensure uniform consistency. The blend is then placed in a warm room to
dry for a day or two. During drying, hot air continually passes over the mixture.
Cooking and purifying the base
3 Next, the gum base is cooked in kettles at 243 degrees Fahrenheit (116 degrees
Celsius) until it has melted into thick syrup. To purify it, workers pass it through
screens and place it in a high speed centrifuge before registering it, this time
through finer screens.
Blending additional ingredients
4 The gum base is now ready for additives. It is placed in kettles to be cooked,
and additional ingredients are stirred in by large steel blades. First, extremely fine
powdered sugar and corn syrup are added. Flavorings are added next, followed by
softeners. When the mixture is smooth enough, it is rolled out onto belts and
cooled by being exposed to cold air.
47
Kneading and rolling the gum
5 The next step is kneading. For several hours machines gently pummel the mass
After being dusted with powdered sugar, the gum is scored into a pattern of
rectangles, seasoned, and broken into sticks. The gum is now ready to be
packaged and shipped to retail outlets.
Of chewing gum until it is properly rubbery and smooth. Large chunks are then
chopped off the mass, to be flattened by rollers until they reach the proper
thickness of nearly .17 inches (about .43 cm). During this process, the sheet of
chewing gum is dusted with powdered sugar to prepare it for cutting.
Cutting and seasoning the gum
6 A cutting machine first scores the sheet in a pattern of rectangles, each 1.3
inches (3.3 centimeters) long and .449 of an inch (1.14 centimeters) wide. The
sheet is then put aside at the proper temperature and humidity to "season."
Quality Control:
Perhaps because chewing gum has always had a bad reputation as an unsanitary and crass
junk food, but more likely because it is intended for human consumption, chewing gum
factories have for decades been known for immaculate conditions.
Standards for raw materials are equally high. If natural rubber such as chicle is used, it
must pass several tests for cleanliness and texture. Before shipment, chicle is inspected
48
for rocks, dirt, and other obvious impurities. If it is too milky, dry, or dirty, it is rejected.
Chewing gum is manufactured completely untouched by human hands, its entire
production process taking place in clean, air-conditioned facilities. Each ingredient is
tested for purity before being used, and only the highest quality ingredients are accepted.
Every large company has a research laboratory on its premises, thereby simplifying the
standard procedure of inspecting and testing ingredients at every stage of the
manufacturing process. The research and development department is also responsible for
investigating new ways to produce and package gum, and for developing new products.
A successful piece of gum must be chewy and fresh, and bubble gum in particular must
be both resilient and soft. With all types of gum, freshness and texture depend upon
moistness. Gum must also contain the right amount of flavor oil. While too much solvent
will make a gum sticky and hard to cut, it must contain enough flavors to mask the taste
of the gum base and to last for a reasonably long time. For these reasons, the flavor oils
used in gum are highly concentrated. A long shelf-life is also desirable, and every pack of
gum is dated. After that date, the manufacturer asks that the gum be disposed of. To
ensure that merchants do this, one manufacturer will replace unsold, out-of-date gum for
free.
Long Lasting Gum Idea:

The most promising idea for long-lasting gum entails coating each stick with a polymer
film that releases flavor molecules slowly; studies suggest that the flavor of such gum can
last more than ten hours
Future outlook of the company

When we will launch this bubble gum in the market, it will capture the
whole bubble gum market and will increase the shares of the Mayfair
company. Because rig now there will be no alternative of this chewing
gum which flavor will last log about 10 hours. Right now the average
duration o bubble gum flavor is about 5 minutes so this unique
chewing gum will boost the market shares of the company.
