"Enjoying together around good food"​ defines the essence of GBfoods, the group that brings together the multi-local reality and the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that has accompanied the various companies and local brands that shape it since its creation 80 years ago. Jumbo was launched in Africa more than 40 years ago and has become a synonym of taste and quality. Its portfolio of product brings flavour to both modern and traditional African dishes. Nowadays, it is an essential ingredient in the recipes of many countries on the continent. 2017 has seen a significant growth of GBfoods on the continent, with the acquisition of specific assets and leading brands in Africa.

In addition, GBfoods has expanded its portfolio with popular products from well-known brands such as: • Gino, a well-established brand in Africa because of its wide range of quality products that make the daily lives of many African families easier: they include tomato paste, taste enhancers, pasta and rice, among other products. • Pomo, that brings you the love for local cuisine with its popular tomato mix. • The fantastic Bama mayonnaise for the most exquisite dishes. • Jago, which offers a wide range of dairy products such as milk powder, mayonnaise and other quality products for Nigerian cuisine.
