Mkeen was established in 2001, with its founder being a meat enthusiast with a non-traditional approach. His passion and concern for meat were reflected in his decisions, as he began sourcing distinctive animals with small ages and weights, free from diseases, active, and in good health. He decided to slaughter and package them in private abattoirs according to health standards.
The company initiated its export operations to Arab countries and East Asia, starting with an average of one container every 30 days. After more than 15 years, due to the increasing demand for products and the commitment to superior quality, the company was officially established as Mkeen International. It began exporting larger quantities, reaching up to 150 containers per month to the Arab world and East Asia.
