History

edit

Rifai was founded in Beirut in 1948 as a home-based operation supplying roasted nuts and coffee to the local neighborhood. In addition to its retail brand, Rifai wholesales nuts under other brands. Rifai offers locally produced products in a variety of flavors. Its factory employs over 200 employees

In 2021, MERIT, the holding company of the Saadé family, completed the acquisition of Rifai in a bid to accelerate the brand's growth and expand worldwide.
