Americana Foods - National Food Company

At Americana Foods, we are deeply committed to making a positive impact in communities where we operate and beyond. Yemen is suffering one of the world’s worst hunger crises. Did you know that less than 10% of #Yemen’s aid needs have been fulfilled in 2024? In partnership with the Kuwait Red crescent society, we have donated 100,000 of our #Americana cans to reach the most vulnerable communities that are suffering from malnutrition and are in dire need for humanitarian need. Giving back is part of our ethos and we are forthcoming in our support of credible food assistance programs that work tirelessly to combat world hunger and fight chronic food deprivation. Join us in our efforts to end famine and mass starvation across the world and create a brighter future for generations to come.  

While we celebrate the achievements and results we’ve achieved in the first half of 2024 across the region, the teams in the different markets enjoyed some #savory and #sweet snacks. This townhall, we’ve elevated our usual get-together to a whole new level of fun. What’s better than a House of Pops pushy, filled with tasteful, plant-based pops, roaming around our UAE office and bringing a great mood to everyone! In Egypt, it was a different ball game with our crunchy, salty Farm Frites French Fries that were served to the team to delight their tastebuds and satisfy their cravings, putting a smile on their faces. Here’s to a successful 2nd half of the year, and to mood-booster engagements and gatherings! #AmericanaFoods #Townhall #EmployeeEngagement

We have recently completed our two-day strategic meeting for our Snacks Commercial team, aimed at reviewing past performance, setting strategic goals and enhancing team alignment and #engagement.  Sherif El-Nokaly, our Snacks category GM led the meeting, and we took the opportunity to review the team's achievements and challenges and identified some improvement areas. Day 2 was dedicated to Voyager Team Building Activity, designed to boost team morale, #passion and alignment through an engaging VR experience. Teams undertook time-travel missions, solved riddles and guided a VR traveler to change historical events, showcasing strong teamwork and problem-solving skills. Overall, the two-day strategic meeting successfully combined #strategic planning with #innovative team building, fostering a cohesive and motivated commercial team.

With a rich history and extensive product range, we've established ourselves as leaders in food manufacturing, distribution and retail in the region. Our dedication to rigorous quality control, taste and food safety has made #AmericanaFoods a benchmark for excellence. On World Food Safety Day, we're celebrating our dedication to #quality and commitment to prioritizing #foodsafety and enhancing our #protocols. With less than 2 weeks away, we are pleased to announce that #AmericanaFoods is the Platinum Sponsor of the World Food Safety Day event - a regional gateway for the yearly celebration of #WFSD across Africa, Middle East and Asia (AMEA). Join us on July 15th in Riyadh as we enhance the way we produce, handle and consume food. This is the platform for us to collectively improve food safety standards and practices across all sectors of the food industry, from production to consumption and raise awareness about the crucial role of food safety on our health and nutrition. #FoodSafety #QualityControl #Innovation

With the first half of the year coming to an end, our #AmericanaFoods Egypt HR team conducted their mid-year review meeting, held by Dr. Amany Shehata, to assess the progress of our HR team priorities that were set at the beginning of 2024 and explore new ways and trainings that support these goals and help in attaining them. The meeting was a great opportunity for the team to introduce the Celemi Cayenne™ Business Simulation, a tool specifically designed to manage stakeholders through digital transformation, increase staff commitment and improve alignment on projects and establish effective project teams. Through this simulation, employees gain a holistic understanding of projects, recognize common pitfalls, and develop the skills needed to navigate them successfully. Overall, the Celemi Cayenne™ Business Simulation proved to be an excellent #training solution to support our goals of enhancing collaboration and improving our ways of working together. Kudos to our HR team! Your enthusiasm and engagement are truly remarkable and reflect #Americana’s commitment to achieving goals together!

Last month, we organized a 2-day successful workshop for Farm Frites Egypt and The International Company For Agriculture Production & Processing (ICAPP), our Fruit & Vegetables BUs to enhance the #WaysofWorking through Americana Leadership Imperatives. Patricio Rohner, Americana Foods CEO kicked off the meeting with an encouraging message, allowing the teams then to share their business strategies across the different functions.   To further tap into the leadership imperatives, we invited the inspirational speaker and para-athlete Eslam Abuali, who shared his success stories, the challenges he overcame and some tips on how to deal with our current state of mind. The workshop ended with an engaging team binding activity and an exciting night with a magician.   A Big Thank you to the Leadership Team who was empowering the teams; thus, demonstrating how we “Level UP” all together at #AmericanaFoods.

From our Americana family to yours, Eid Adha Mubarak 🐏 أطيب التمنيات في هذا العيد. أضحى مبارك 🐏

Last week, we completed our two-day ISC event for the Integrated Supply Chain Snacks team, led by our dedicated Snacks Management Team. The aim of the meeting was to reinforce the importance of alignment and #cross-functional collaboration.   Our extensive ISC team enthusiastically engaged in this hands-on learning experience, utilizing financial ratios as planning tools to develop #leadership and #entrepreneurial perspectives. The simulation provided a risk-free environment for participants to experiment with strategies, foster collaboration across functions, and gain insights into cross-functional financial relationships.   In appreciation of the team’s efforts and commitment, we ended the ISC event with an entertainment night featuring an Egyptian magician, as we celebrated the successful completion of the training. #AmericanaFoods #TeamBuilding #SupplyChain
