industrial sectors in Egypt since its
establishment in 1935 as a family business
of medium
size. Now, it has grown to cover several
commercial, industrial and social fields
through direct investments either in joint
stock companies that are 100% owned by el
sayad family, or as anchor investors in huge
recently privatized companies, or in private
companies and non-governmental organization.
The group started as a simple partnership
represented in "tredco el sayad" department
store handling as well some imports and
exports. Upon the inception of Egypt's
open-door policy
that took place in the early seventies, the
founders were ready to cope with the new
economic structure.
They urged the business development plans
for expansion in marketing, distribution,
and gaining the exclusive agency of many
reputable international firms that have been
supplying a wide range of products,
equipment, and machinery to the Egyptian and
Arab markets.
Apparently, over the last two decades, the
group has grown to become one of the largest
economic bodies in Egypt especially upon its
participation in a number of investment
consortiums of strategic investors in the
privatization process for many of the giant
manufacturing firms operating in different
industries in Egypt e.g. fertilizers ,
chemicals , cables, textile and
construction. This reflects the group
strategy towards the diversification of its
investments.
Moreover, the company has been getting
prepared for the challenges of the
globalization over the last few years
through developing plans for the expansion
in west and a number of Arab countries.
Actually, the first of this chain of
regional investments was just established in
Syria "el sayad trading - Syria ", the most
recent subsidiary of the group.
In addition, el sayad group is sustaining a
growing reputation through its continued
market-focused strategies, integrated
investments, and customer satisfaction.
