- Cairo Oils & Soap S.A.E. is an Egypt-based fast-moving consumer goods and agribusiness company primarily engaged in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and distribution of edible oils, vegetable ghee, household and personal soaps, and related agricultural by-products. The company operates through multiple core product and service categories: refined edible cooking oils, including corn oil, sunflower oil, blended vegetable oils, and palm olein sold under the Katfa, Agab, and Coral brand names; vegetable ghee and flavored culinary fats, including butter-flavored and traditional shortening formulations marketed under the Katfa, Agab, and Mizan labels; personal wash and hygiene products, comprising toilet soaps, beauty bars, laundry soaps, and liquid detergents under brands such as Natural SPA, Organic SPA, Daily Soft, and Klanz; industrial and feed ingredients, consisting of oilseed meals, protein cakes, and fatty acid distillates for the animal nutrition and chemical sectors; and industrial services, including third-party toll refining, contract bottling, and liquid bulk logistics. Headquartered in Cairo, Egypt, and founded in 1953, the company maintains its primary manufacturing and refining complex in Al-Ayyat in the Giza Governorate, as well as a dedicated port storage terminal at Adabiya Port in Suez. It distributes its consumer and commercial lines nationwide across retail and wholesale networks in Egypt and exports select merchandise to regional markets across the Middle East and North Africa. Consukorra for Trade & Agencies serves as the majority shareholder. In recent strategic and operational developments, Cairo Oils & Soap has executed a comprehensive operational and financial restructuring initiative to streamline operations and expand capacity; commissioned a modernized 17,000-ton bulk liquid storage and logistics terminal at Adabiya Port to handle internal feedstock imports and generate recurring revenue through commercial third-party storage agreements; upgraded refining and high-speed packaging lines at its Al-Ayyat industrial complex to improve yield efficiencies and support broader domestic distribution; and established supply chain partnerships with industry bodies such as the Malaysian Palm Oil Council to optimize raw material procurement and support regional market expansion.
