Our success story
Built on 40 years of experience.
Tanbo Food Ingredients (TFI) is a food manufacturing company specialised in producing dehydrated onion of the highest quality from Egypt.
With more than 40 years in the dehydration sector, our founder Mr. Hesham El-Tanbouly is known worldwide for the quality of his dehydrated onion and his customer care.
Having sold our previous facilities, Mr. El-Tanbouly and the second generation built this — our newest and third facility — from scratch, partnering with Agrofood, one of the largest agriculture companies in Egypt, to deliver fully traceable conventional and organic onion.
Our goal
New ideas in dehydrated onion.
Our goal is to explore new ideas in dehydrated vegetables, especially dehydrated onion, since this is what we are known for globally. Working with experts from Germany and Japan through our R&D programme, we have overcome the obstacles the dehydration industry faced in the past to meet our customers' needs.
