The Palmo legacy began in 1955 when Abdul Kader Ismail Palekar, with vision, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to quality, grew Palmo into one of the largest meat manufacturers in the region. In 1999, his nephew revived the business under the name Palmo Foods, carrying forward this proud heritage.
Today, as a strictly halal, family-owned company based in Cape Town, we continue to honor this legacy—crafting quality processed meats that reach homes across South Africa. Every product reflects decades of tradition, passion, and dedication, ensuring that our name remains synonymous with trust and excellence.
