About Us
Ntake Bakery & Company Limited was founded in 1978 by Dr. Canon Gaster Lule and Mrs. Edith Lule in Nalukolongo, Kampala. What began as a small home bakery producing breakfast cakes has grown into a diversified enterprise with a strong presence in Uganda and across the East African region.

Ntake Bakery & Company Ltd. is a renowned, multifaceted enterprise widely recognized as an industry leader across the East African region. Our journey began with a clear vision rooted in quality, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence—principles that have continuously fueled our growth and diversification across multiple sectors.

Our flagship bakery operations remain at the heart of our business, supported by a network of state-of-the-art facilities strategically located in major cities across Uganda, including Kampala, Jinja, Mbarara, Lira, Masaka, and Mbale. These bakeries are celebrated for producing a wide range of premium baked products that serve both local and regional markets, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted and respected brand.

In addition to our core bakery operations, we have achieved remarkable milestones in flour milling through our ultra-modern mill based at our Nalukolongo headquarters. This facility ensures the consistent supply of high-grade flour products including Kaswa Baking Flour, Horse Brand Flour, Biscuit Flour, Atta Flour, Sooji Flour, Brown Flour, and Cake Flour—catering not only to our own operations but also to various sectors that rely on premium flour products.

Our portfolio further extends to the real estate and infrastructure sectors, led by our Concrete Batching Plant and Estates Division, which are instrumental in meeting internal construction needs and advancing regional development initiatives. Additionally, Gadith Investments, one of our key business arms located in Nalukolongo, plays a vital role in driving strategic growth and innovation across our diverse operations.

In line with our sustainability agenda, we established the AAA Tissues Factory, a cutting-edge facility in Nalukolongo dedicated to paper recycling and the production of premium tissues and serviettes under the Maxisoft brand. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing while enhancing our product portfolio.

One of our most significant milestones is the launch of a world-class Ntake Edible Oil Refinery at the Namanve Industrial Business Park, which produces a wide range of essential consumer goods, including fortified vegetable cooking oil (20L, 10L, 5L, 3L, and 1L Jerrycans), Ntake Thupu sachets (1000ml, 500ml, 200ml, 100ml, 50ml, and 25ml packs), and an assortment of soaps and fats such as Ntake Laundry Bar Soap – Lemon Green (1kg & 600g), Zuri Brown (1kg & 600g), Zuri Blue (600g), Grey Soap (1kg), Lemon White (1kg & 600g), margarine, baker’s fat, and industrial plastics. This refinery stands as a testament to our dedication to quality, safety, and regional leadership in manufacturing.

At Ntake Bakery & Company Ltd., excellence, innovation, and sustainability are more than just core values—they are the foundation of everything we do. Our mission is to consistently deliver products and services that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers, partners, and stakeholders.

As Ntake Bakery continues to grow and expand across East Africa, we are seeking highly motivated, skilled, and detail-oriented individuals to join our Distribution Entity as an Accountant. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the financial management and operational success of a leading bakery brand in the region.

If you are a proactive professional with a passion for surveillance, security monitoring, and operational excellence, this is your chance to be part of one of the region’s most respected brands and contribute meaningfully to our continued success.
