- Obour Land for Food Industries S.A.E. is an Egypt-based company engaged in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and distribution of dairy products, fruit juices, and processed meat items. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Obour City, Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt, the company operates across the packaged foods and consumer goods sectors. Its product portfolio comprises white cheese packaged in carton packs and plastic tubs, featuring varieties such as Feta, Istanbuly, Baramily, Cheddar-flavored, Roumi-flavored, Olive, Cream, and Low Salt cheese; processed cheese spreads packaged in glass jars, triangles, and blocks; mozzarella and specialty cooking cheeses; ultra-high-temperature (UHT) plain liquid milk, offered in whole, semi-skimmed, and skimmed variations; flavored milk beverages including chocolate, strawberry, and banana varieties; ambient fruit juices and nectars; and frozen processed meat products such as beef burgers, minced beef, kofta, pastrami, and sausages. The company commercializes its offerings primarily under the Obour Land and Mafrooda brand names, serving retail consumers, traditional trade grocers, modern supermarket chains, wholesalers, and institutional foodservice clients throughout Egypt, alongside export operations covering the Middle East, North Africa, and select African markets. In recent operational and strategic developments, Obour Land has executed a vertical integration program centered on the development and commercial scaling of its agricultural and dairy farming subsidiary, Obour Farm, which involves importing high-yield dairy cattle breeds to establish proprietary raw milk supplies and mitigate raw material cost volatility. Furthermore, the company has enhanced its industrial capacity through investments in modernized Tetra Pak packaging lines, expanded production lines for jar-packaged processed cheese and portion cheeses, and broadened its value-priced and family-pack stock keeping units to support domestic market share amidst macroeconomic pressures and inflationary market dynamics.
