Pak Matsenter AS was established in 1982 with the aim of offering halal meat to the Muslim community in Norway. The company started its operations from a home office, but quickly moved to Jens Bjelkesgt. 43 on Tøyen. As demand increased, the premises became too small, and in 1991 they moved to their current address on the corner of Tøyengata and Jens Bjelkesgt. 41. Pak Matsenter AS is known for being the first store in Norway to be halal certified by the Islamic Council of Norway.
The business specializes in quality meat and groceries, with a wide selection of halal products such as lamb, beef, chicken, deer and turkey. In addition, they offer popular products such as sausages, burgers and specialties such as biryani and korma. Pak Matsenter AS also focuses on healthy and nutritious food with halal approval, and offers home delivery on certain days. The company has been in operation with the same organization number since its inception, which underlines its long-term presence in the market.
