Citing Sepehr Parsian, Ali Shariati Moghadam has been recognized as one of the leading figures transforming Iran’s saffron industry through the introduction of innovative production and packaging methods compatible with both national and international standards.
Revolutionizing Saffron Production
Founded in Mashhad, Novin Saffron draws upon several generations of rich agricultural heritage to revolutionize all aspects of saffron production. From its inception, the company has invested heavily in research to enhance global recognition of Iranian saffron and to pioneer modern approaches within the industry. Over the years, Novin Saffron has achieved remarkable progress in improving quality and presentation standards, ensuring consistent alignment with the highest international benchmarks.
Commitment to Quality and Global Standards
A central pillar of the company’s success lies in its unwavering commitment to quality assurance, supported by advanced, fully equipped laboratories. These facilities safeguard the authenticity and reliability of each saffron thread, guaranteeing compliance with stringent quality and purity standards.
In 1995, Novin Saffron became the first company worldwide to receive ISO 9001 certification for saffron — a pioneering achievement that affirmed its excellence in every stage of production and packaging.
Expanding International Presence
Throughout the 2000s, the company strengthened its production infrastructure and laboratory capabilities while introducing innovative packaging techniques designed to preserve saffron’s freshness, aroma, and unique flavor. These efforts expanded its presence across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
In 2007, Novin Saffron earned the HACCP certification (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), underscoring compliance with international food safety standards and allowing deeper penetration into sensitive export markets such as the EU and the U.S.
Innovation and Sustainable Growth
During the 2010s, as global demand for Iranian saffron continued to rise, Novin Saffron focused on sustainable production and new technologies. The company launched modern, eco‑friendly production lines and invested in global marketing to strengthen brand recognition.
In 2013, it obtained Halal certification, a key step that boosted exports to Muslim markets.
By 2016, Novin Saffron had further optimized its production and packaging processes and acquired environmental certifications, reflecting its commitment to protecting natural resources.
Strategic Partnership with Golrang Industrial Group
A defining milestone came in 2020, when Novin Saffron joined Golrang Industrial Group, one of Iran’s largest and most reputable corporations. This strategic alliance expanded its production capacity and distribution network, empowering the company to reach broader domestic and international markets.
Through this partnership, Novin Saffron advanced product development, diversified exports, and elevated the global profile of Iranian saffron.
