ABOUT CAPE TO CAIRO

From the vibrant foods and goods of Africa to the nostalgic flavours of home, Cape to Cairo delivers an extensive range of leading brands, premium products and exotic delicacies that celebrate the rich culinary pleasures of Africa.

RELIABLE WHOLESALE SUPPLY ACROSS AUSTRALIA

Good products earn their place on the shelf. Keeping them there takes dependable stock, responsive service and a wholesale partner who understands retail.

Cape to Cairo supplies grocery buyers, independent supermarkets, specialty retailers, restaurants and distributors across Australia. From our Osborne Park warehouse, we provide a well-supported range, reliable order fulfilment, daily local deliveries and nationwide distribution.

More than thirty years in food retail gives us direct knowledge of what customers recognise, what they are ready to discover and what brings them back. Our six stores and online shop keep that knowledge current, helping us support buyers with range selection, product information, merchandising and continuity of supply.

For brand owners, Cape to Cairo offers an established route into the Australian market, supported by importation capability, local warehousing, distribution and direct retail experience.
Whether you are building a category, adding something distinctive or looking for more reliable supply, we make it easier to get the right products onto the shelf and keep them moving.

For wholesale enquiries, contact Jens Henschel on +61 (0)8 9204 5666 or gerrit@capetocairo.com.au.

RESPONSIBLE, CONTROLLED AUSTRALIAN FOOD PRODUCTION

Making food carries responsibility. At Cape to Cairo, we take that responsibility personally.

Food safety is part of how we run our business, how we train our people and how we make decisions. We look carefully at where risks may arise, put the right controls in place and monitor whether those controls are working. When something does not meet our requirements, we act, record what happened and verify that the issue has been properly addressed.

Our approach brings together supplier and ingredient controls, allergen management, staff training, workplace hygiene, cleaning and sanitation, traceability, product handling and storage. Each plays a part in protecting the integrity of the food we produce and the confidence placed in our business.

We believe good production practice must continue to evolve. We review our systems as regulations change, new risks emerge and better ways of working become available. We also look beyond compliance to how we source, use resources, manage packaging and reduce waste.

These responsibilities belong to all of us. They require trained people, clear standards, accurate records and a culture in which concerns are raised and addressed.

For Cape to Cairo, responsible production is not simply about meeting a requirement. It is about doing the work properly, being accountable for the decisions we make and earning the trust of our customers, wholesale partners and food authorities every day.

SALES AND MARKET ACTIVATION

At Cape to Cairo, our sales and market activation strategy focuses on delivering authentic South African products to both retail and wholesale customers across Australia. Through our Osborne Park warehouse we provide daily deliveries to grocers, restaurants, and specialty stores, while our retail outlets across WA offer a true taste of home. 

We drive market activation with seasonal promotions, in-store tastings, cultural events, and a strong digital presence to engage and grow our community. With a focus on quality, authenticity, and real community connection, we partner closely to get beloved South African brands and locally made specialties onto shelves and into homes nationwide. Our e-commerce platform completes the experience with fast shipping and curated bundles delivered right across Western Australia.

RETAIL

Cape to Cairo’s retail approach is built on cultural connection, product authenticity, and community engagement. With multiple stores across Western Australia, we position ourselves near key South African and multicultural communities. Each store offers a carefully curated range of imported and locally produced South African goods, from biltong and boerewors to pantry staples and traditional treats.

Our focus is on creating a warm, familiar shopping experience with knowledgeable staff and regular events like tastings and cultural celebrations. We combine this with a robust ecommerce platform to make our products accessible Australia-wide. By blending physical stores with online convenience and genuine community service, Cape to Cairo delivers more than products. We bring a true taste of home with every visit.
