Founded in 1973 by the self‑made visionary Girma Taye, Romina PLC began as a modest restaurant in Addis Ababa's Arat Kilo. Over the past five decades, it has evolved into a dynamic Ethiopian holding company with diversified interests across restaurant management, FMCG import and distribution, coffee export, and international trading. The portfolio spans Romina’s own eateries (like Koba Patisserie, Meskott, Bacio Cremeria and Romina Restaurant), a dairy farm, and a coffee processing plant, plus operations such as managing washing and drying stations across Sidama, Yirgacheffe, and Wallaga for top-grade coffee exports. 

Rooted in excellence, innovation, quality, sustainability, integrity, and community passion, Romina stays driven by its founding values while pushing strategic growth. Still family-run, now helmed by the next generation, the firm continues using smart partnerships and local know-how to build wealth, elevate customer experience, and uplift its community
