What Fresh does

Fresh (فريش) is a vertically integrated Egyptian home appliances manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered in Giza, with a workforce exceeding 10,000 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a comprehensive portfolio of major and small household appliances under its own brand, including gas cookers (freestanding and built-in), refrigerators and freezers (329–580 L no-frost, mini-bars, upright freezers), air conditioners (split, free-stand, ducted, portable, air curtains), washing machines (front-load automatic, top-load, twin-tub, single-tub), dishwashers, smart televisions (Google TV QLED, Android, Coolita OS, LED), and small appliances (microwaves, electric ovens, vacuum cleaners, irons, water heaters, air coolers, air fryers, coffee machines, hand blenders, fans, kitchen machines, heaters). Products incorporate inverter compressor technology, multi-air-flow cooling, no-frost systems, ion plasma filters, Italian-made burner valves, and German Schott glass on premium models.

The business model is direct-to-consumer hardware sales: Fresh runs an owned Egyptian e-commerce platform (fresh.com.eg) and a network of 10+ retail showrooms across Cairo, Alexandria, Asyut, Beni Suef, and Helwan. Pricing is denominated in Egyptian Pounds across a wide range — roughly 620 EGP for TV receivers to ~198,309 EGP for premium AC units, with cash discounts of 19–26% on most categories. The company supports affordability through installment plans up to 24 months, free shipping on orders over 2,000 EGP, and a 14-day return policy. Warranty coverage extends up to 10 years on major appliances. The target market is Egyptian household consumers across residential use cases (cooking, food preservation, climate control, laundry, entertainment, water heating), with light-commercial reach through higher-capacity free-stand and ducted AC units. Fresh operates exclusively in Egypt with no disclosed exports or international retail presence.
