GB Auto is a uniquely diversified player
in the Middle East and North Afri-
can region’s automotive segment. The
company’s assembly, manufacturing,
sales and distribution, and after-sales
service operations span multiple market
segments, including passenger cars,
motorcycles, three-wheelers, commercial
vehicles, construction equipment, and
tires, as well as being complemented
by corporate, consumer and microfi-
nance activities.
These activities occupy:
• 4 assembly and manufacturing plants
in Egypt.
• A growing sales network of
independent dealers and owned-retail
outlets in Egypt and Iraq.
• 7 passenger car and 6 commercial
vehicle after-sales service outlets in
Egypt and 3 in Iraq.
• 46 microfinance branches.
• Consumer finance done through
a network of independent dealer
showrooms plus 22 owned-
showrooms.
While Egypt remains our base and our
strength, GB Auto has expanded into
Iraq, Libya and Algeria, with plans to
expand further into Sub-Saharan Africa,
as a start.
The company’s activities form a three-
axis strategy: expanding new ventures,
growing our portfolio of products
and targeting high-growth markets
for expansion.
