Our Story
Our success today is rooted in over 45 years of a deep passion for engineering innovation, led by the Egyptian inventor Eng. Magdy Zahran.
An innovative mind with more than 50 inventions: throughout his career he introduced over 50 engineering inventions aimed at solving everyday problems efficiently, relying on keen observation and tailoring engineering to serve people.
Our range spans tank float valves, cistern flush mechanisms, plastic pipe clamps and pipe fittings — every item tested for pressure resistance, tensile strength, UV exposure and total leakage prevention.
We are the first in the world to use a UPVC ball valve inside a float valve, and our smart flush mechanism saves over 50% of water consumption per flush.
Our Mission
Smart Solutions for Uncompromising Quality
To utilize our extensive industrial heritage and expertise to innovate and manufacture high-quality sanitaryware and smart consumer solutions. We are committed to providing reliable engineering systems that eliminate leakage, save time and effort during installation, and meet the strictest global standard specifications.
Our Vision
Engineering Leadership as the Premier Choice for Major Projects
To be the premier engineering choice for major regional and global projects by providing innovative and sustainable water conservation solutions. We aim to elevate the reputation and quality of Egyptian products and set new efficiency standards in the construction sector, driven by an exceptional team and advanced manufacturing processes.
Our Location
Plot 57, 6th Industrial Zone, Badr City, Cairo — a modern manufacturing facility serving clients across Egypt and international markets.
Our Journey
- 1980
First Steps — Localizing Industry
His journey began in the medical glass sector. With an exceptional engineering mindset he localized the manufacturing of laboratory glassware and test tubes, taking local production above 60% — reducing import dependency and even exporting to major manufacturers in Germany.
- 1995
Shifting to Sanitaryware
Responding to the national crisis of millions of cubic metres of wasted drinking water and the threat to building integrity caused by leaking tanks, he moved into sanitaryware with radical, patented solutions: the Advanced Tank Float Valve — the first globally to use a UPVC ball valve, preventing leaks maintenance-free for over 10 years and dubbed by the national press “the invention that saves Egypt more than one billion pounds annually” — and the Smart Flush Valve Mechanism, which precisely controls water flow, reducing consumption by 50% and preventing leakage completely.
- 2018
