A Story of Sweet Success

Gaining a new momentum from the Americana management we were encouraged to expand. Inspired by the vision for achieving excellence the May Egypt crew were able to implement local modifications to the production line multiplying the output by more than 600% in 2012.

The markets could not get enough of our specialty biscuits compelling us to undertake a bigger expansion in 2015 almost doubling our production capacity.

Our suppliers provide us with the best wheat, sugar, shortening and flavors that enable us to bake our biscuits to perfection.

Our standard of excellence is applied at all times, from the supply of raw materials and the rigorous testing process to the storage facilities that are monitored closely to the preparation process then on to our ovens to the packaging.
