Seven decades of building Egypt.

The Mansour Group’s story begins in the 1950s, when Loutfy Mansour founded Mansour & Sons Cotton Trading Company. Under his leadership it quickly became Egypt’s second-largest cotton exporter and later expanded into Sudan.

As Egypt’s economy opened up in the 1970s, the group became the exclusive distributor of General Motors (Chevrolet) in 1975, its pivotal entry into the automotive industry. After Loutfy’s passing, his four sons carried the business forward, launching Mantrac, Caterpillar’s authorised dealer, in 1977 and pioneering Egypt’s first private-sector vehicle assembly plant in 1985.

The 1990s brought key alliances, including a partnership with Philip Morris International for tobacco distribution, and a move into food and beverages through the McDonald’s Egypt franchise, Hayat bottled water and Labanita dairy products.

Over the years the portfolio grew to include retail (Metro, Kheir Zaman, Fresh Food Market), technology distribution (IBM, Microsoft, HP) and heavy equipment across Africa through the Unatrac Group, which extended the Caterpillar dealership to six more African markets.

Beyond commerce, the group built a strong presence in finance, real estate and tourism through Mansour-Maghraby Investments (MMID). In 2010 it launched Man Capital, its international investment arm, which prioritises both social impact and sustainable growth.

Today Man Capital invests in renewable energy (wind and solar), education, healthcare, technology start-ups and sports development, creating lasting value for communities and economies worldwide.

Today the Mansour Group stands as a cornerstone of Egypt’s economy, driven by a relentless spirit of innovation, diversification and nation-building: a testament to its enduring vision and commitment to progress.
