The Launch of Gawharet El Fan Global
A Global Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt
Our Global Headquarters will still be based out of Cairo, Egypt, under the leadership of father and son duo, Abdel-Nasser Lotfy (Global CEO) and Youssef Lotfy (Global COO). Gawharet El Fan will remain a family owned business commited to serving our community with our innovations and our expert insight in this market.
A Western Headquarters in London, UK
A new Western Headquarters has been established for Gawharet El Fan to truly access the European and North American markets. This headquarters, led by Ibraheem Malik, is situated in London, one the most powerful cities in the world. The London Headquarters will help people from the global market reliably access Gawharet El Fan.
A Global Supply Chain
To facilitate making our products available internationally, we have created a global supply chain allowing our products to be transported from our Global Headquarters in Cairo to our warehouses across the world. From London to Vienna, the USA's East Coast to its West Coast, and across Africa and the Middle East, we now stock our products in warehouses around the world.
