Halal Transactions

What Halal Transactions does

Halal Transactions of Omaha (HTO) is a third-party Halal certification body founded in 1992 by Dr. Alabsy and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with an established Canadian branch. The company certifies meat, poultry, food and beverage products, as well as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles, leather, and services, as compliant with Islamic dietary and usage law. Its client base includes enterprise food producers (e.g., Creekstone Farms) and manufacturers across multiple verticals seeking access to Muslim consumer markets in North America and beyond.

The company's technical and religious foundation rests on ISO 17065 accreditation — the international standard for product, process, and service certification bodies — combined with oversight from a Shari'ah Advisory Board and Dubai-based Emirates International Accreditation Centre (EIAC) recognition. Certification activities include slaughter-witness protocols, ingredient and supply chain verification, facility audits, ongoing surveillance, and labeling authorization, with named staff holding roles such as Halal Processing Coordinator and Lead Quality Manager. The firm holds a BBB A+ rating and is privately held under founder-family control.

Revenue is generated through certification and ongoing surveillance fees charged to producers and processors under a sales-led direct go-to-market model. The company has 11–50 employees, no disclosed external funding, and no public M&A activity. The addressable market is sizable: the global Halal economy is estimated at $1.9 trillion, with the Canadian Halal market alone at approximately $2 billion and growing 10–15% annually.
