About Us
Our Story
Green Star Distribution is the new incarnation of what was originally a small family business that started over 25 years ago, supplying FMCG products to mostly Independent retail stores, ethnic supermarkets and halal restaurant customers,
Our founder was running a small technology services business providing consulting services to a Swiss pharma multinational. He frequently worked with lots of Muslim people and when they would go out to eat there was always a shortage of Halal product, in-fact sometimes there was nothing at all. What was annoying was that you could only get the basics everywhere at best, you know salt and vinegar chips, your basic snack foods or simple vegetarian fast food. This used to happen all across Europe, but if you did find anything it was food from Asia (India, which got boring)
the Founder and his family went to Saudi to relocate and the business was strategically planned from Saudi, with optimum locations for the business and close ties to our customer bases, initially this was the UK, but with our first adverts on social media we saw the true scope of the demand from the global Muslim community.
On entering Morocco the Founder believed that the business was ideally situated here as a bridge between the East, the West, the Americas and Southern Africa. The Business was Operational and the rest is being written. Our Mission, provide consumers with "Halal Everything, Halal Everywhere"
At present Green Star Distribution operateS in MENA, EU, and The Americas, With More Locations Planned.
The Halal Promise
An essential cornerstone of our business is our commitment to halal-certified products. By partnering with trusted manufacturers across the MENA region, we ensure that all our offerings adhere to halal standards, catering to the cultural and dietary needs of consumers in EU and beyond.
Mission
Why the UK-MENA Market?
In the UK, there are lots of people from different cultures, especially from the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. Many of them want real halal food that reminds them of home. At the same time, people in the UK are also enjoying new and exciting foods from different countries.
On the other side, people in the Middle East and North Africa are starting to enjoy more high-quality products from the UK and Europe. This creates a great chance for businesses to trade between both regions and give people new on trend FMCG products across multiple catagories.
Logistics Support
Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Like all businesses, we face a few challenges — from following trade rules and managing shipping, to understanding different cultures. But the chances to grow in this market are much bigger than the difficulties.
We serve not only the MENA region but also Asian and other communities, who want quality halal and cultural foods they trust. By focusing on real, authentic products, great service, and happy customers, we’re building a brand that people can count on — both in the UK and overseas. And with the support of our reliable logistics and supply chain partners, we’re making it all possible.
Values
Halal Everything, Halal Everywhere
At Green Star Distribution, we believe that food is more than just something to eat — it’s a story, a memory, a celebration. That’s why we work to build bridges between cultures, using food as the language we all understand.
We proudly share the rich, flavorful heritage of MENA (Middle East and North Africa) cuisine with the UK — offering everything from traditional spices and dates to couscous and olive oil. At the same time, we help MENA countries discover and enjoy premium, high-quality foods made in the UK.
By connecting these food cultures, we’re helping make the world feel smaller, closer, and definitely more enjoyable.
