Strength 01

Factory-scale fabrication

Two dedicated plants in Addis Ababa and a team of 250+ engineers, technicians, and certified welders — the largest mechanical engineering and welding workforce in Ethiopia. Cutting, forming, welding, and finishing all happen under our own roofs, so quality never leaves our hands.

A supply chain we own

Sheet metal, reinforcement bar, electrodes, and tyres arrive through HH Import & Export — our own trading division — and heavy machinery comes from the group's own fleet. Fewer third-party dependencies means honest lead times and delivery dates we can stand behind.
