DAL Group is present in diverse economic sectors, such as food production, engineering, or retail, through companies such as DAL Motors, DAL Engineering, DAL Food (which includes Sayga flour, the Blue Nile Dairy, Nobo Pasta,), Sutrac and Sudanese Liquid Air, as well as many other companies.[2]

DAL Group also founded the Khartoum International Community School (KICS) and, as part of their commitment to corporate social responsibility, is active in a number of cultural activities, such as the Sudan Traditional Food Festival or festivals celebrating Sudanese musical traditions.[3]

After inheriting an engineering and tractor company from his father in the 1960s, Daoud rapidly expanded it to its present-day size as Sudan's largest conglomerate.[4] Despite US-imposed sanctions on trade with Sudan, DAL Food Industries[5] has been official bottler and retailer of the Coca-Cola Company in Sudan.[6]

As a result, the two countries have no economic relations, except for a few exceptions that are allowed by the US administration: import of gum arabic for Coca Cola, and a large plant in Khartoum that is owned by the same company.
