Polyserve Group
Rooted in Egypt’s Industrial Legacy, Built for Global Reach
About Us
Polyserve Group builds, owns, and manages a portfolio of industrial businesses spanning fertilizer manufacturing and international trade.
Headquartered in Cairo and established in 1990, Polyserve’s industrial roots stretch back to 1947 through its acquisition of Abu Zaabal Fertilizers & Chemicals, one of the region’s first and largest fertilizer factories, and a cornerstone of the country’s industrial development. That legacy continues to shape the Group’s commitment to quality, operational excellence, and sustainable growth.
Polyserve Group set out with a simple mandate: Producing fertilizers of superior quality and ensuring sustainable value from the heart of Egypt to farmlands worldwide.
Three and a half decades later, that mandate has grown into something far larger. Headquartered in Cairo, Polyserve today steers a portfolio of production, trading, and logistics businesses that reach markets across Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australia.
Through disciplined investment, industrial expertise, and a long-term vision, Polyserve Group continues to build businesses that strengthen agriculture, expand international trade, and create enduring value for customers, partners, and the communities they serve.

Community & National Impact
Polyserve Group’s role extends beyond its own companies and into the communities where those companies operate. The clearest expression of that commitment is the Abu Zaabal Schools. Two vocational institutions founded under Group leadership to train the next generation of Egyptian technicians and engineers for careers in the fertilizer and chemicals industry.
Abu Zaabal School for Industrial Development launched in 2022 in partnership with the Productivity and Vocational Training Department (PVTD) under Egypt’s Ministry of Industry, training students in mechanical maintenance, electrical systems, automation and control, and industrial chemistry.
Abu Zaabal School for Applied Technology followed in 2023, launched with Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education as part of the national Applied Technology Schools system, offering a three-year program in phosphate and chemical fertilizer technology.

"Since the establishment of the Abu Zaabal factory, through its merger under the Polyserve Group umbrella, we have pursued a continuous journey of development and comprehensive technological modernization over the decades. These efforts helped us successfully transform this historic landmark into an industrial powerhouse that’s one of the largest single-site facilities in the world for SSP fertilizer production. Today, Polyserve stands at the forefront of the regional and international fertilizer industry, delivering an Egyptian product that leads global markets and is sought after by name for its exceptional quality, which elevates agricultural yields and embodies true pride in national industry."

"Our investments have never been merely about expanding production capacity; they have always been the realization of a steadfast vision committed to sustainability and setting new benchmarks for development. Through these investments, we successfully harnessed advanced technology, safeguarded our environment, and directly enhanced our product quality. This has enabled us to cement our leading position among the world's top phosphate fertilizer exporters and support a comprehensive economic growth. At the very heart of this sustainable success stands the human element as our most valuable asset and the true driver behind every achievement. That is why we have invested limitlessly in training and upskilling our workforce. We firmly believe that technical education and human empowerment are the real bridge leading us from a distinguished present to an even greater future.”
