Emkay Foods presents itself as a family-led and family-operated business specialising in high-quality, consistently reliable food products and solutions for food businesses at the best possible value, and calls itself 'Your Trusted Foodservice Partner'. The company states that it started operations in 2017 with fewer than 10 employees, focusing on specialty meats supply, building on more than 40 years of experience in running restaurants, retail, wholesale distribution and foodservice supply. It was co-founded by Mossad Kharma with his son Mohamed (managing director) and daughter Rana (commercial director), and its official LinkedIn page places its headquarters in Sheikh Zayed, Giza. The company says its Food Distribution unit serves restaurants, hotels, industrial operators, supermarkets and retailers, and that its network covers all of Egypt using its own fleet and strategically located warehouses. The site cites a distribution centre of over 5,000 sqm, more than 3,500 multi-temperature (ambient, chilled and frozen) pallet positions and more than 550 SKUs. According to its timeline, it moved in 2022 to a distribution centre it bought, expanded it in 2024, and acquired an adjacent 6,000 sqm industrial building. It also offers third-party logistics (3PL) and an online ordering shop. The company distributes six lines: specialty meats (chilled and frozen beef, veal and lamb from Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, South Africa and European countries), bakery, pastry and gelato ingredients (bread mixes, improvers, fillings, whipping cream and chocolate), beverages (tonic waters, roasted coffee and smoothies), preserved foods (olives, jalapeños, artichokes, pickles and olive oil), frozen fruits and vegetables, and menu essentials such as soups, condiments, oils, dairy and pasta. Named partners include Karan Beef of South Africa, Brick Barn of the Dutch VanDrie Group, and Samex, Hardwicks, John Dee, Stanbroke, Fletcher and L'grow Wagyu from Australia; the company says it is the exclusive importer and distributor of Austria's backaldrin products in Egypt, and distributes Smet's Veliche Belgian chocolate, Cargill's Belgian chocolate and Elenka's Italian gelato ingredients. The company has its own brands: Moomoo's for restaurant-grade meats for homes, Montalis for fresh, frozen and preserved Mediterranean products, Nuestra for frozen fruits, purées and fillings, and House of Crea for liquid creams. Its timeline mentions a pilot meat portioning facility in 2021, the purchase of an entire factory from Germany for a larger meat processing plant in 2022, and its first olive shipments to Spain in 2023; it has offices in Egypt, the UAE, Canada and Australia.
