After announcing in October it planned to set up a new branch and distribution centre in the Rwandan capital of Kigali, Giza-based Domty said this week it is “maintaining procedures to establish its brand” in that country. The project was expected to come on stream this quarter and the facility will primarily focus on white cheese products, the company said at the time.

Along with a range of packaged cheeses, Domty also produces fruit juices, all under its namesake brand. The company exports to 35 countries worldwide, including the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa, according to its website.
