Discover the history of the 9595 company—from its beginnings in the production of frozen doughs to its evolution into an innovative, knowledge-based enterprise within the food industry, characterized by scientific and research achievements and health-oriented products.
From an idea to shaping the future of the food industry
Every successful brand has a story; a story that begins with an idea and comes to fruition with years of effort, research, and innovation.
The story of the Iranian Life Company with the brand name 9595 is also a narrative of a path that has been shaped based on research and development, continuous innovation, and the creation of added value.
From the first days of our activity, our goal has not only been to produce food products; rather, we have tried to provide products that, in addition to quality, meet the future needs of the food industry by utilizing up-to-date knowledge, new technologies, and a precise understanding of market needs.
Today, 9595, as one of the leading groups in Iran’s food industry, began its growth path by producing frozen doughs and has become one of the successful examples of innovation in this industry by developing technology, entering the dairy industry, designing functional products, and gaining the status of a knowledge-based company.
The beginning of the path; building on quality and expertise
The company officially began operations in 2008 with the production of frozen dumpling dough.
At that time, the market for industrial semi-finished products in Iran was still in its infancy. For this reason, the company’s focus from the very beginning was on producing products with consistent quality, adhering to production standards, and establishing industrial infrastructure.
This specialized approach became the foundation for future product development and the formation of the R&D unit, which is today one of the company’s most important assets.
Expanding product portfolio and entering new markets
By expanding its production capacities, the company continued to expand its products.
In 2011, a dedicated production line for semi-finished pizza bread was launched, and just a few years later, in 2014, the company succeeded in becoming the first producer of yufka dough in Iran.
These successes were not just an increase in production capacity; they also demonstrated the company’s ability to identify market needs and develop indigenous technologies in the food industry.
Strategic entry into the dairy industry
2015 was a significant milestone in 9595’s growth path.
This year, the company entered the dairy industry and began producing pizza cheeses; a decision that took the company’s activities to a new level.
Combining the knowledge of producing specialized doughs with modern cheese production technologies, 9595 was able to offer more complete solutions for the fast food industry, restaurants, and food manufacturers.
Research and Development; Heartbeat 9595
What sets the company’s growth trajectory apart from many manufacturers is its continued investment in research and development (R&D).
At 9595, innovation is not just about producing new products; it is also about solving real problems in the food industry, improving public health, and developing indigenous technologies.
For this reason, the company’s R&D department has always focused on formulation engineering, processing technologies, production optimization, and health-focused product design.
Creating innovation on a global scale
One of the company’s most important achievements came in 2019, when the R&D unit succeeded in developing and producing a functional processed pizza cheese.
According to company documents, this product is introduced as the world’s first functional processed pizza cheese and is the result of years of research, formulation design, and development of new technologies in the food industry.
Becoming a knowledge-based company
The company’s scientific and research efforts ultimately led to the title of Knowledge-Based Company.
This recognition was granted to the company for the design, formulation, and industrial production of a functional, fat-free (0% fat) processed pizza cheese; a product that was able to solve one of the most complex challenges in cheese technology.
In this product, the research and development team, by redesigning the protein structure and using advanced processing technologies, succeeded in maintaining properties such as elasticity, meltability, and appropriate sensory quality without the use of fat.
This product is also considered an example of the integration of technology and health in the food industry, with 25% protein, enrichment with calcium, vitamin D, sea salt, cholesterol-free, preservatives-free, and chemical stabilizers.
Innovation in the service of community health
9595’s innovative approach is not limited to the development of commercial products.
The company’s research and development department has designed and localized a series of specialized products to meet the needs of specific groups in society, including:
- Protein-free pizza cheese for phenylketonuria (PKU) patients
- Gluten-free pizza bread for celiac patients
- 100% vegetarian (vegan) dumpling dough
- Dairy-free pizza cheese for lactose intolerant people
- Fat-free functional diet pizza cheese
The development of these products reflects the company’s approach to using technology to improve quality of life, increase food security, and respond to the health-oriented needs of society.
