Company Profile

Everything starts from an idea. But every idea might not see the daylight of success without hard work and diligence. 15 years ago, Horra Trading was just an idea in the mind of Mr. Adem Kedir who meticulously worked day and night to turn it into a reality in 2005, basing himself on his extensive skill and knowledge in coffee and coffee trade. Mr. Adem Kedir’s coffee trade career started as the succeeding generation from his grandfather Mr. Abbahawa and his father Mr. Kedir Hadjji Hassan in Ethiopia. As the third-generation successor of the family coffee business, Mr. Adem has made the leap from his involvement in traditional and domestic coffee market to international coffee trade by forming his own business entity by the name of Horra Trading in 2005.

What was started as a simple trading business entity in 2005, Horra Trading has made it possible to create diversified businesses under Horra Corporate Group. Currently, Horra Corporate Group business portfolio includes coffee and oil seeds export, coffee plantation, automotive assembly, import and distribution, manufacturing, real estate development and transit and forwarding. The expansion of Horra Corporate Group has continued with the company getting ready to expand its brand in the hospitality sector. The company has recently incorporated a new subsidiary company, “Gabana Retails”, a company dedicated to providing a high-quality service in the hospitality sector.

Horra is currently looking a talent who is ready to share our dreams and be on the same boat to navigate through out the dynamic business world with promising a glowing opportunity to craft a desirable career map for talents
