Giftii Foods and Packaging PLC is a pioneering company with deep roots in Ethiopia’s industrial history. Established in 1971 by Kalsec International, a renowned organization based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, the company initially focused on extracting oleoresin paprika from Ethiopian-grown red peppers.

His leadership marked a significant transformation for the company, focusing on rehabilitation, diversification, and modernization of its operations. Today, Giftii Foods operates multiple production units, ranging from spice extraction and flour milling to bakery and extrusion. These units represent a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the utilization of Ethiopia’s rich agricultural resources.
Boasting over 45 years of expertise in extraction technologies, Giftii Foods has become a trusted producer of high-quality products. Their diverse portfolio includes spice oleoresins, defatted soy flour, detoxified rapeseed meal, and hydroextracted concentrated brine, among others. With facilities in Addis Ababa, Welaita, and Welega, the company continues to play a vital role in Ethiopia’s industrial growth while meeting international standards.
