Olympic Group incorporates a highly integrated cluster of companies, which has enabled the Group to maintain its dominant position as the market leader in the field of white goods in Egypt. More than 98% of the products sold by the Group are manufactured in the Group's own production facilities. A number of these facilities are dedicated to feeding industries, where essential product components are produced. The main products manufactured by Olympic Group are automatic washing machines, refrigerators, electric water heaters and gas cookers. Other products include fans, oil-filled radiators, exhaust fans, manual washing machines and coolers.
Olympic Group’s key international partners, suppliers and licensors include the world’s second-largest appliance manufacturer – Electrolux (Zanussi), the Korean giant Daewoo, the leading Dutch manufacturer Philips, the Turkish conglomerate KOC group and Merloni International Group “ARISTON and Indesit”.
Ninety percent of the Group’s products are introduced into the market through Olympic Group’s wholly owned wholesale trader, EPA, which is the largest white goods trader in Egypt. EPA has 12 branches and a huge network of 1600 dealers and distributors.
The other trading arm of the Group, B-Tech, is handling retail operations with a focus on consumer credit sales. B-Tech was established in 1997 under the trading name “Olympic Stores”. Today B-Tech operates 42 outlets located at some of the best commercial centers in Cairo and other provinces within Egypt. In addition, EPA operates 16 Ideal and Olympic Electric retail outlets and 11 franchise retail outlets in unique locations.
The core activities of the company are supported with the largest and most effective after-sales service network in Egypt, comprising a network of 25 service centers geographically spread throughout the country.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“When mundane, lowly activities are at stake, too much insight is detrimental—far-sightedness errs in immediate concerns.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
