Hamdan Sweets: The Damascus-Tradition Line We Import

Who Hamdan for Foods is

Hamdan for Foods traces its baking lineage to a small Damascus bakery founded in 1991. After the family relocated its operations to Amman, Jordan, the company built out a dedicated manufacturing facility there in 2012 and has run an export operation since 2009 — production scaling up around the same period the company began shipping beyond Syria and Jordan.

That continuity is why a cookie as simple as ghraybeh — flour, fat and sugar, with almost no margin for error — comes out consistent case after case: it's a bakery with three decades of specializing in this exact repertoire, not a newer importer assembling a sweets catalogue from several unrelated sources.

What we import: the full 16-line range

Everything Hamdan supplies to our catalogue sits in one category — sweets and bakery — split across seven product families, each carrying its own multi-digit item-number block on Hamdan's own packaging. That numbering is worth knowing on its own terms: it's a fast way to confirm you're ordering the right line and format when you're working from an item number rather than a product name.

Individually wrapped, boxed and bulk — reading Hamdan's own formats

Not every Hamdan line ships the same way, and it's worth being precise rather than assuming one format covers the whole range. The festival boxes are piece-counted (20 to a box); ghraybeh, barazek, ajweh ma'amoul and baklava mix are weight-counted (a box specified in grams, with a second, larger size available on several lines); breadsticks ship as a carton. Only Luxury Ma'amoul Dates is documented as individually wrapped per piece in our product data — worth flagging directly on your inquiry if per-piece wrapping is a hard requirement for a hospitality or amenity program, since it isn't stated the same way for the other festival boxes.

Getting the format right matters more for Hamdan's range than for a single-SKU line, precisely because there are seven families to keep straight — quoting the wrong item number wastes a round of back-and-forth that a clear inquiry avoids entirely.

Buying the whole line through one Canadian distributor

Buying Hamdan's range through Levant Direct means you're ordering by the case against a catalogue already landed in Canada, with a single written quotation covering everything on your list, rather than managing customs clearance, bilingual labelling review or the producer's own minimum order quantities directly. We can't speak to every importer this range moves through, so it's worth comparing any source you're considering against a published catalogue, a named producer on every listing, and a straightforward quote-based process.

Hospitality buyers — hotels, event planners, amenity programs — are one of the segments this distributor relationship serves well, since a written quotation itemizing exactly what's included is useful for procurement sign-off in a way a phone-order sweets supplier usually isn't. See our hotel welcome sweets supplier guide for how that specific buyer profile sources from the range.

Ordering across the Hamdan range

A single inquiry can mix breadsticks, festival boxes, ghraybeh, barazek, nawashif and baklava mix in whatever combination suits your shelf — the whole range ships from one supplier relationship, so there's no benefit to splitting an order across several requests. See how inquiry-based wholesale ordering works for the mechanics.

First orders into this range typically lead with two or three familiar names — barazek, ghraybeh and one ma'amoul filling — with the wider seven-family catalogue drawn on as sell-through confirms what a given shelf or program actually needs.
