  • Edita Food Industries secured a 600 million EGP ($11.5 million) medium-term loan.
  • The company targets capacity expansion in Egypt and regional markets including Morocco and Iraq.
  • The group posted strong 2025 results, with revenue up 29.5% and net profit rising 72.6%.

The Egyptian food company Edita Food Industries signed a medium-term loan agreement on April 19 for 600 million Egyptian pounds ($11.5 million).

The company structured the loan with a seven-year maturity. It will use the funds to expand industrial capacity and install new production lines. Moreover, the loan extends an ongoing expansion program. In October, the company signed an equipment acquisition agreement that included two cake production lines, two bakery lines, and additional industry-related machinery.

The company valued that earlier transaction at 320 million Egyptian pounds ($6 million). It aims to increase production capacity in these categories by 15%. In addition, the company plans to implement an investment program worth about 4 billion EGP ($77 million) this year. It targets capacity expansion and new production lines not only in Egypt but also in Morocco and Iraq.

Record Results in 2025

The company supports these ambitions with strong financial performance. Edita Food Industries reported annual revenue of 20.9 billion EGP ($403 million), up 29.5% compared with 2024.

The company also reported net profit growth of 72.6% year-on-year to 2.4 billion EGP ($46.3 million). It improved its net margin to 11.7% from 8.8% a year earlier.

During the period, the fourth quarter of 2025 delivered exceptional performance. The company recorded revenue of 6.2 billion EGP ($120 million), reflecting a 45.4% year-on-year increase. It also generated net profit of 859.4 million EGP ($16.5 million).

These results strengthen the group’s market position as it marks 30 years of operations. The company maintains a diversified portfolio across bakery, cakes, savory snacks, and confectionery segments.
