Laboratory services
Bath analysis, correction and follow-up — because plating is a chemical process that needs measurement, not guesswork.
Leaders in electroplating since 1987
El Fath Group has been a trendsetter in the general metal finishing industry and a formidable player in the field of electroplating & specialty chemicals and engineering equipment.
Who we are
Trust earned over two decades
We are leaders in electroplating — including plating chemicals, equipment and laboratory services — since 1987. We gained the trust of the Egyptian market for more than two decades, and have now expanded to include the Middle East and North Africa.
In addition to supplying chemicals, we provide technical support and follow-up. We specifically apply our knowledge in the areas of system and surface technology in order to tailor each system to the coating processes required by our customers.

The record
From a workshop in Abbasiya to MENA
Growth built on technical competence rather than scale — which is why customers stay for decades.
- 1957
Growel founded in India
Grauer & Weil (India) Limited is established — today El Fath’s principal partner in chemicals and engineering equipment.
- 1987
El Fath Group founded in Cairo
The group begins supplying electroplating and surface treatment chemicals to Egypt’s metal finishing industry, from Abbasiya in Cairo.
- Two decades
The trust of the Egyptian market
The business widens from chemical supply into equipment, laboratory services and after-sales technical support, with a customer base spanning automotive, hardware and white goods.
- Today
Two divisions, three principals, a regional market
A Chemicals division and an Engineering division under one roof, authorised agency for Growel, EPP Coatings and K+S, and a service footprint reaching from Egypt across the Middle East and North Africa.
What sets us apart
The supplier who stays after delivery
Anyone can sell a drum of chemicals. The value shows up six months later, when the bath drifts off specification.
In-house plating experts
Technical experts giving free after-sales support — not salespeople reading from a brochure.
Access to foreign experts
When a problem exceeds local scope we have direct lines into our principals’ laboratories and specialists abroad.
One source for the whole line
Chemistry, plant and installation from one party — no finger-pointing between suppliers when something goes wrong.
