In 1948 Mr. Mahmoud ElFar started a small retail store in the coastal city of Port Said, specializing in haberdashery products. Business grew and over the years Mahmoud ElFar chain was created. When the market expanded and new economic regulations were issued in the early 90's, we decided to move part of our business to the capital city of Cairo. In 1994, our first introduction outside Port Said came with our first wholesale office in the busiest whole sale area in Cairo, Moskey Market. Success was enormous and unexpected. One year later the need for a better way to merchandise and display our goods was realized. Far Trading Co. Cairo was esmvvlished as a limited liability Company with a 2,000,000 Egyptian pounds capital.
