Zumragroup began with two sushi chefs and one bold idea. Mohamed Shahin and Mohamed Araby, co-founders and culinary professionals, saw a clear gap in the Egyptian market for authentic Asian ingredients.
Their journey started with importing chef-grade knives from the U.S., which opened doors to deep connections within the culinary world. This led to the launch of their first imported product: pickled ginger under the CRC brand.
As demand grew, the founders realized that the love for Asian cuisine was spreading beyond professional kitchens. In 2018, they launched Zumrafood, a B2C platform dedicated to bringing high-quality Asian products directly to Egyptian homes. Sushi nights, ramen cravings, and authentic cooking became easier and more accessible than ever.
From a single product, Zumragroup has grown into a true powerhouse. Today, the group manages a diverse portfolio of over 600 SKUs, including more than 120 products, proudly carrying the Zumra brand – a name trusted by chefs, supermarkets, and families across Egypt.
