Delivering Global Sourcing & Reliable Supply for Every Market and Scale

MOHAMMED ALI GENERAL TRADING CO. L.L.C., operating under the brand MATCO Foods, is a trusted name in wholesale trading with a legacy of over 47 years in the UAE market. Known for delivering the best quality at the right price, we have built a strong reputation among wholesalers, retailers, and international buyers.

Our journey began in the 1960s when our founder, Mr. Mohammed Ali Peruli, from Thalakkadathur, Tirur, Malappuram, arrived in the UAE with a vision and determination. Starting from humble beginnings, he worked tirelessly across various jobs before entering the trading industry.

Through dedication and perseverance, he co-founded a successful fruit trading business and later, in 1978, established MOHAMMED ALI GENERAL TRADING CO. L.L.C., making it one of the early foodstuff and non-food wholesale trading companies in the UAE.

Today, the company has grown into a well-established trading enterprise with 100+ employees and 1000+ loyal customers, continuing to expand its presence across the Middle East and Asian markets.
