We are not a trading company. We are not a supplier. We are the buyer's eyes, ears, and professional advocate on the ground in Egypt.
International Group Egypt Foods (IGE) is an Egypt-based professional services company specialising in supplier sourcing, supplier verification, factory auditing, quality control, and pre-shipment inspection for international food buyers.
Originally established in the frozen food export trade, IGE underwent a strategic transformation — focusing exclusively on representing the interests of international buyers who source from or are considering sourcing from Egypt.
Our position is unique: we hold no commercial stake in any transaction between buyer and supplier. This independence is the foundation of every service we provide.

Independent & Unbiased
To protect international buyers from sourcing risk in Egypt by providing independent, professional, and evidence-based supplier verification, factory auditing, and product inspection services — delivered with transparency, speed, and integrity.
We believe that every international buyer deserves to have a qualified, trusted professional on the ground in Egypt before any money changes hands. Our mission is to be that professional for every client we serve.
To become the most respected and recognised independent buyer's representative and inspection authority for Egyptian-sourced food and agricultural products in the global market.
We envision a future where no international buyer feels the need to make a high-risk sourcing decision based on photos and phone calls alone — because IGE is always available to provide the ground-truth.
These principles shape every engagement, every report, and every decision IGE makes on behalf of its clients.
We serve only the buyer. We have no financial interest in any supplier relationship, no commissions from factories, and no incentive to approve what should be rejected. Our independence is unconditional.
Every conclusion in every report is supported by physical evidence — photographs, measurements, documentation review, and observable facts. We do not issue reports based on assumptions or supplier claims.
We exist to protect the buyer's financial interest, commercial reputation, and legal position. If a factory fails our audit, we say so — clearly, in writing, and with evidence.
All audits and inspections follow internationally recognised frameworks. Our checklists, scoring systems, and report formats are benchmarked against global best practice in third-party inspection.
International sourcing runs on tight timelines. We are committed to fast scoping, rapid scheduling, and 48-hour report delivery as a standard — not an exception.
Our team understands the expectations of international buyers — the language of global food trade, the requirements of major retail and import markets, and the standards that matter most to our clients.
Transparency: You receive the full report — including every problem we find — with no filtering or softening of findings.
Independence: We receive no remuneration of any kind from suppliers, factories, or any third party in Egypt.

Timeliness: Reports are delivered within 48 hours of site visit completion, or 24 hours for urgent pre-shipment inspections.
