A rich history as a foundation for a bright future.

In 1984, Abraham began planning a new business venture in Canada. Having run successful clothing and textile operations in East Africa with his brother Amu, Abraham’s initial notion involved textiles. However, market research soon revealed that fashion trends in Canada were vastly different to those back home. He couldn’t help but notice that ethnic foods available in Canada tended to be overpriced and lacking in quality and freshness. With immigrants arriving from all over the world providing a ready market, he and his brother seized the opportunity and established IRCCMC.

IRCCMC is born.

IRCCMC becomes it’s own entity, distinct from Shah Trading. In 2005, backed by their father Abraham, brothers launched their own entrepreneurial initiative, IRCCMC Group. And applied the knowledge they’d collected growing up in the family business to build a trading powerhouse dedicated to launching, acquiring, and nurturing a portfolio of mainly food sector organizations. Placing their faith in applied technology and innovation, they set about doing things in ways the industry had never seen before. It helped that the trio had the blessing of a supportive father, a wealth of resources and valuable global connections to drive the new enterprise forward. What began as an idea is today a multifaceted business grown from modern education, the wellspring of Jain ethics and East African values.
