History edit
The company was established in 1983 by the Egyptian engineer, Safwan Thabet. It signed an agreement with the food packaging company Tetra Pak.
Juhayna established a joint company (Argo Food Industries), thanks to a partnership agreement with the European company, Arla Foods, which specializes in dairy products.[2]
Juhayna also signed a cooperation protocol with online payment processing platform Fawry with annual investments of £E15 million.[3]
The company participated in the third session of the Africa Food Processing Fair, and it also participated in the International Food Services Exhibition (Anuga), in Cologne, Germany.[4][5]
In 2010, Juhayna was exposed to a fire that destroyed much of its factory in Sixth of October City, but the company quickly recuperated the losses and regained its large foothold in the Egyptian market.[6]

The company sought to roof 600 homes in Upper Egypt in the village of Shandwil, Sohag.[7]
