The roots of manufacturing Halawa and Tahini dates back to the year 1926, where the first factory for manufacturing traditional confectioneries in their typical style was setup in Amman city by the late Haj “Reslan Al Kasih. In the year 1949, he improved his factory by switching it to operate using electric power. He then named it “ Reslan Al Kasih & Sons Company” which was well known for producing Halawah and Tahini. The factory was so famous to the extent that the whole industry was coupled with the name of Al Kasih.


In order to guarantee supplying of such distinguished products to the Jordanian as well as Arabian consumers that they are used to consume during the past seventy years based on top quality and suitable prices, Mr. Adnan Al Kasih setup a new plant by the end of 1997 for manufacturing of Tahini, Halawa, and hulled sesame. He named it “Kasih Factories Group for Foodstuff” (KFG). Mr. Al kasih made his long experience, which dates back to the year 1958 available at the service of this group.

The assets of the new plant amounted to more than US $ 3 Million. The machinery and equipment for this plant were imported from Arabian as well as from European countries.

It is worth to say that our plant is a unique one in the region as regarding of using modern technology in manufacturing Halawa , Tahini & Hulled sesame with fully automated production lines without being touched by hands.

Strategies of Export
Marketing and selling our products to the foreign countries is not ruled anymore by the old traditional techniques. Nowadays, it is more directed towards the new and specified needs of the consumers of the third millinium. Our main goal is to target the wider segment of the consumers of the foreign countries and not only the ethnic groups. This is done by cooperating with well established companies who have channels of distribution that cover all the different kinds and levels of customers and all levels of retailers and supermarkets. We hope such plicy will allow us again to reach our main goal, which is non-ethnic export market.
