MAG Trade & Investment is one of the region's prominent groups contributing to the development of trade flows and transport & logistics systems between Africa and the Middle East — a story that began in Cairo in 1997 as Al-Abbas, founded by chairman Mohamed Atta Gad.
Our journey began in the late 1990s under the name Al-Abbas for Transport and Logistics Services, operating across Africa and the Middle East — supporting supply chains and infrastructure development between Egypt and North Sudan and South Sudan.
The company evolved into Egyptian Castle for Investment in the early 2000s, becoming a key player in cross-border trade. In 2011 we expanded into international trade in strategic commodities between Egypt and several African and Arab markets.
In 2022 the group was established as MAG Trade & Investment — an integrated economic and investment platform with diversified activities spanning mining, renewable energy and telecommunications.
From 2025, we have continued to expand across the African continent — securing mining licenses in Chad and implementing agricultural, healthcare and industrial development projects across North Sudan and South Sudan, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia, on a Vision 2035 horizon.
That the most useful businesses in this region are the ones that move what other people need — at scale, on time, between borders that rarely cooperate.
To position MAG as a leading regional partner in advancing trade, transport and investment networks — supporting economic integration between Africa and the Middle East through advanced logistics solutions and sustainable strategic investments.
To provide high-efficiency transport and logistics solutions, and strengthen trade systems through balanced investments across natural resources and energy, infrastructure, agricultural and food production, and medical equipment.
An integrated value chain that supports sustainable development and strengthens Egypt's role in Africa — across mining, petroleum, agriculture and the healthcare infrastructure that the next decade will need.
A working snapshot — real cargo, real corridors, real value moving between Africa and the Arab world.
Selected projects across the Northern, Khartoum and River Nile states — funded by the Federal Ministry of Finance and (where noted) executed under BOT.
A non-profit foundation owned by the company — humanitarian work across Egypt's governorates and villages.
Established to promote social solidarity through development and humanitarian initiatives that improve the quality of life for individuals and families in need. The foundation provides financial and moral support in education, healthcare and housing, with focused programs for people with special needs and the most vulnerable families across Egyptian governorates and villages — in partnership with government, the private sector, and other community organizations.
