Egypt For Poultry Co

What Egypt For Poultry Co does

Egypt For Poultry Co (legal name: Egyptian Poultry Company S.A.E., الشركة المصرية للدواجن ش.م.م) is a Cairo-headquartered, EGX-listed (ticker: EPCO) poultry producer incorporated on 25 August 1977 under Egyptian Investment Law 43/1974. The company operates a fully vertically integrated poultry value chain spanning breeder flocks, hatching-egg production, day-old chick supply, broiler fattening, table-egg production from layer chickens, poultry feed milling from raw materials, automated slaughtering, cold storage, and distribution with export rights. Two operational sites are documented: a corporate headquarters at 21 Misr-Helwan Road, Maadi, Cairo, and an automated slaughterhouse on Saqara Touristic Road, Al-Batran Exit, Giza.

The corporate group consists of the parent and two majority-owned subsidiaries: Egyptian Company for Fattening Poultry S.A.E. (99% owned, established 2011, authorized capital 227,135,000 EGP), which extends broiler fattening operations, and Egpico for Investment and Real Estate and Agricultural Development S.A.E. (96% owned, established 25 November 2012, authorized capital 10,000,000 EGP), which provides vertical diversification into agricultural land and real estate. As of GAFI Decision No. 13318 (31 October 2013), parent authorized capital is 271,370,000 EGP with issued capital of 27,137,000 EGP distributed across 13,568,500 shares at 2 EGP nominal value.

The business model is direct B2B/B2C distribution of poultry protein products across Egypt, supplemented by international export, with regulatory authority to grant domestic dealership rights. Disclosed plans include a poultry medicine production factory, indicating forward vertical extension into veterinary inputs. The company's operational term is fixed to expire 24 August 2027 per Decision No. 600/2003. Governance is via a six-member board led by Mr. Hisham Shawqi Ali Mohammed (Chairman) and Mr. Hisham Ahmed Abd-ellatef El-Awdi (Managing Director). The company's online presence is minimal: the corporate website at epco-chickina.com is largely unfinished ("Page Under constructions" placeholders), with no mobile app, social profiles, integrations, or named product brands identified.
