The Beginning

In 1962, Sami Saad & Co. was established, they started their road trip with the construction business, and was vastly growing, against all the odds.
Today, Sami Saad Holding is an Egypt based firm with more than 30 companies working under its umbrella in the areas of Engineering & Construction, Automotive, Food and Hospitality, with emphasize on Real Estate and Industrial Development In 1987, Sami Saad partners with Mercedes-Benz in Egypt and begins extended negotiations with the Egyptian government to privatize the sales and servicing of the German automobiles in Egypt. In 1988, NATCO is established to manage the automotive sector.

The Locations

Few months later, NATCO launched its prestigious showroom in the World Trade Center, enforcing the sense of luxury of the brand. To better serve the growing number of customers, NATCO needed to expand its grounds, launching three facilities between the years of 1991 and 1995, providing sales, after sales and spare parts services. NATCO naturally followed its customers, based on vehicles density distribution and potential customers’ base; their chosen locations were in Egypt’s three major cities where they established Giza Service Center, Alexandria Service Center, and Cairo Service Center-Fom Al Khalig.

The Factory

The only way NATCO and Daimler-Benz were going to be able to maintain success locally was through local assembly of the cars. Cars assembled in Egypt were going to be reasonably priced compared to imported cars with zero deficiency production quality; opening up new market segments to Mercedes-Benz in Egypt, Daimler-Benz understood that and signed a partnership agreement in April 1996 with NATCO forming the Egyptian German Automotive Company-EGA.
NATCO added an industrial dimension to the relationship with Daimler in 1996 by establishing Egyptian German Automotive Factory EGA with a production capacity of 12,000 vehicles/year. EGA takes a lot of pride in owning the only assembly plant outside of Germany that was able to transform itself into a component manufacturer and supplier. It started locally manufacturing a Mercedes-Benz quality brake disc in 2002. Today it has successfully produced close to 2 million brake discs, meeting one third of the international brake discs demand of Mercedes-Benz. In 2007, Egyptian German Automotive EGA rolls out the first S-Class vehicle at its assembly plant.

The Subsidiaries

In 2001, NATCO has officially launched its three subsidiaries to be the exclusive dealerships for Mercedes-Benz in Egypt. The first of these was Cairo National Automotive Company-CNA in August 2001. Two weeks later, the Alexandria National Automotive Company-ANA was launched, followed by the Giza National Automotive Company-GNA.
2010 has seen remarkable milestones for NATCO, beginning with the opening of the Cairo National Automotive-Kattameya 3S facility and ending with NATCO’s record sales of over 4,500 cars in one year. In 2013, NATCO launches its state-of-the-art 3S facility Giza National Automotive GNA - Pyramids Heights, coinciding with its 25 years anniversary celebrations.
