History

Abu Zaabal Specialized Chemicals Company was established in 1950, and in 1959 the company introduced the manufacture of industrial explosives (dynamite) to meet the needs of mines and quarries, as well as the needs of oil exploration and major construction projects.[3]

One of the most notable achievements in this field is the High Dam project, which used 12,000 tons of dynamite produced by the company.[5]

Products were developed to keep pace with the requirements of the local market, such as industrial nitrocellulose for the manufacture of paints, pure edible oil (cotton seed, sunflower and natural palm oil, agricultural fertilizers and industrial detergents for various purposes).[4][2][3]
