OUR STORY
Delta Aromatic International was established in 1983 by Mr. Omar Abdel Rahim, the present Chairman and CEO. With over 50 years of experience in the field of essential oils, flavors, and fragrances, Mr. Omar Abdel Rahim was the sole agent in Egypt for several international companies (Mero & Boyveau-Grass, Zimmerman Hobbs – UK, Henkel Düsseldorf, CPL Aromas UK) until he established Delta Aromatic International. Delta Aromatic is a producer of ingredients, ingredient systems, and integrated solutions targeting the homecare and personal-care sectors. Delta Aromatic started off as a flavor and fragrance house; in the early 1990s, they added a color division mainly targeting the food and homecare sectors.
In the early 2000s, propelled by their flavor penetration in the beverage sector, they started a juice trading operation that performed very successfully in the Middle East and Africa. A few years later, they expanded into compounding their own flavor ingredients with multiple functional ingredients and juices, launching the first Integrated Ingredient System offering in the Middle East and Africa. In 2008, Delta Aromatic started a state-of-the-art fruit processing and juice compounding plant to consolidate their penetration in the beverage sector. In 2013, Doehler Group (Germany) acquired 50% of the Juice and Flavor business of Delta Aromatic and rebranded the company as Doehler Egypt S.A.E. In 2015, Delta Aromatic successfully sold its color division to ROHA Dyec hem (India). Doehler Egypt began by transferring a team from Delta Aromatic and was managed completely autonomously under the leadership of two of Delta Aromatic’s managing partners.
From 2013 to 2019, Doehler Egypt grew to become the largest and most sophisticated beverage ingredients and R&D hub in the Middle East and Africa, achieving sustained CAGR growth of more than 45% over six years. In 2020, Delta Aromatic exercised its option to sell its remaining 50% stake in Doehler Egypt successfully. In 2021, following a strong success story over the previous six years, supported by extensive regional growth experience and the necessary capital, Delta Aromatic positioned itself to replicate the same success in the Home Care and Personal Care sectors, with a primary focus on select clients in the Middle East and Africa. Delta Aromatic is currently one of the region’s oldest and leading fragrance houses.
