Logistics
Mediterraneo has a range of logistical assets that help fuel its trading and industrial endeavors. We charter vessels from our trusted ship owners and secure spots in local and international ports with the support of a network of trusted partners. With smaller shipments, we easily and efficiently load containers onto vessels. Throughout this process an impartial third party is always on board overlooking the boarding, discharge, and general maintenance of the merchandise is up to part. This third party reports on the quality of the goods throughout the transportation process.
On a local scale, we have a fleet of 55 trucks, 30 cars, seven service vans and two buses as well as numerous storage facilities and distribution centers. Our fleet allows us to transport goods all across Egypt and store them at a low cost while maintaining the highest quality standards, which ensures that we can give our clients competitive pricing for quality products.
Our decades of experience mean that our supply chain is equipped to handle all the logistical demands for our clients.
Industries
Mediterraneo Industries produces high quality products at our three facilities located in Fayoum, Damietta and Gamasa. We use the latest machinery to sort, clean, split and package the commodities we import for our clients while enforcing world-standard hygiene procedures.
All three of our facilities are certified ISO 22000 and our Fayoum and Damietta factories are whitelisted by the NSFA. Mediterraneo Industries ensures that goods are well preserved against insect infestation and fungus development with its wireless temperature- controlled silos and chiller cooling silos to keep our raw material in the best condition. Our products remain free from any pesticides and preservatives making them safe for human consumption and ensuring no harm is done to the environment.
We have installed solar panels on all three factories, to minimize our use of environmentally endangering energy sources. Additionally, we have several electric forklifts and elevators. We are constantly looking for ways to optimize our factories while decreasing our carbon footprint. Mediterraneo has pledged to reduce our carbon footprint by 500 tons by 2025.

Fayoum Factory
In 2006, Mediterraneo Industries inaugurated its state of the art facility in Fayoum which was upgraded in 2013. Our Fayoum factory is spread across 5,600m2 and has around 11 silos with 7,000 tons of storage space and packages products for our wholesale business.
Equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, like a double functioning line for cleaning and splitting from Turkey, a cleaning and packaging line with technology from Switzerland’s Buhler and a cleaning line from Denmark’s Cimbria.
The facility can process 100,000 tons of fava beans per year, it is considered the biggest plant of its kind in the country. The plant has three lines of production, silo storage and refrigerated storage.
We are proud to say that the Fayoum facility is whitelisted by the National Food Security Authority (NSFA) and is ISO 22000 certified.
Damietta Factory
Our Damietta facility became fully established in 2016 with a total space area of 15,000m2 and deals with sorting and cleaning of pulses, and is our wholesale packaging zone. This factory is whitelisted by the National Food Security Authority (NSFA) and is ISO 22000 certified.
We are a leader in the production of quality lentils in the MENA region. Damietta processes around 150,000 tons of pulses yearly, approximately a quarter of which is lentils.
In Damietta, Mediterraneo has six refrigerated silos, commonly referred to as reefers that can store up to 12,000 tons, ensuring that stock won’t be ruined by the summer heat. The plant has five lines of production and 17 silos with a total capacity storage of up to 25,000 tons.
Our Damietta factory is close to the Damietta port meaning the commodities make a short journey from the port to the factory where they have very limited contact with the outside environment.
Gamasa Factory
Our Gamasa facility is mainly used for packaging and storing. It is the biggest in terms of size, spanning across 20,000m2. In Gamasa, our consumer facing brands undergo lab trails and a last round of sorting. We manually sort through our range of pulses and manual asses and expel bad beans from the good beans.
Our products are packaged in their branded packets using state-of-the-art Rovema machinery from Germany. Our factory staff has perfected the art of packaging in this factory. They efficiently manage the machines and the storage space available.
At Gamasa, we have 25,000 tons of temperature-controlled space which we use for storage.
