About Us
Building Ethiopia's Tomorrow Since 2008
A diversified enterprise creating lasting value for communities and partners across East Africa.
Our Story
Founded in 2008 in Addis Ababa, ZG Business Group began as a modest import and export enterprise with a clear vision: to build a business that would create lasting value for Ethiopia and its people.
Over the past 18 years, we have methodically expanded into sectors that serve fundamental human needs—food, shelter, employment, hospitality, and community development. Each expansion has been guided by the same principles that defined our beginning: operational excellence, ethical practices, and long-term commitment to the communities we serve.
Today, ZG Business Group operates across 11 industries with over 5,000 employees, contributing to Ethiopia's economic growth while maintaining our founding commitment to quality and integrity.
