About the owner: Bakhresa
Bakhresa is a privately held company headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, founded in 1975. Brandtree records 6 brands under its control.
Bakhresa Group is a Tanzanian family conglomerate that began in 1975 when Said Salim Awadh Bakhresa opened the Azam Restaurant, and now runs more than thirty subsidiaries across nine countries and fifteen divisions. Its flagship company, Said Salim Bakhresa & Company, holds the largest wheat milling and storage capacity in East Africa, much of it built from mills bought in Tanzania's 1990s privatisation programme. Almost everything the group sells to the public carries the Azam name, whether it is flour, biscuits, ice cream, juice, satellite television or a mobile money wallet, which makes Azam one of the most widely stretched brands in the region.
