Yesterday, it was announced the death of businessman Mahmoud El-Araby, Chairman of the Board of Directors of El-Araby Group, and it was also announced that he would be buried in his hometown of Ashmoun, Menoufia Governorate.
– The truth is Mahmoud El-Araby is an exceptional person in being a businessman who has built a successful capital accumulation without monopolistic practices, and he has provided a very respectable model in the large spending on charitable works in the vicinity of his village, his residence, his work and in all of Egypt.
Mahmoud El-Araby is the owner of Japanese Toshiba agencies, and he was the owner of the first factory to enter into the manufacture and locking of household appliances inside Egypt through the Toshiba El-Araby Factory and Company, after the first factory and then an integrated industrial complex were built in Benha.
Because of his leadership in the agencies of Toshiba, Sharp, Seiko and Sony, he was awarded the (Rising Sun) Medal by the Japanese Emperor in 2009.
Mahmoud El-Araby is the most important thing that distinguishes him not just because he is a successful businessman, nor because his factories and companies employ a huge number of them. And in all of Egypt.
– As an example of positivity and an attempt to localize industries and create skilled workforces in Egypt, El-Araby Company implemented El-Araby School for Applied Technology, a technical school that combines education and training, in cooperation with the State of Japan.
– The El-Araby Group had held several conferences for foreign suppliers in previous years under the slogan “Towards Feeding Industries in Egypt”, and the first fruits of it were the establishment of a specialized factory for the manufacture of washing machine motors.
– And whoever followed the Corona crisis and the interaction of Egyptian businessmen with it, he will discover that most of the famous businessmen were criticizing the closure and stopping production and decided to cut workers’ salaries by half because they could not bear the loss in how many months, as we saw in the statements of Ghabbour, Sawiris and others.
– But on the other hand, we found the exact opposite of Mahmoud Al-Arabi, who did not consciously reduce workers’ salaries. On the contrary, his statements were all positive from humanitarian and religious aspects, and he paid a full hospital for workers and his employees for isolation, and provided private buses for workers to ride public transportation, while Others were suggesting that workers stay in factories to work and not mix abroad and get infected with our virus.
Al-Arabi was also provided in his charitable contributions, donations to hospitals, the purchase of oxygen and medical supplies to hospitals, in addition to the social benefits that he works on a monthly basis through charities, and the vacations that were in hand for employees during the Corona period without deducting any money from their salaries.
– His humanitarian positions in the Corona crisis may seem simple and logical in favor of work and in favor of his job, but in a smart way, but it turns out that they are great positions when we compare them with other businessmen who laid off workers and employees and reduced salaries simply because they were unable to bear the loss of a closure and a global crisis for months, although they They earned from behind the workers countries for years.
– Al-Arabi was one of those who we can clearly say to self-made businessmen, because he really started from scratch and throughout his struggle journey he became one of the leading men of commerce, industry and national economy in Egypt, after he literally built a huge industrial fortress that has its name in the Middle East without what we hear that Engaged in corruption, monopoly or greed.
All my condolences to the family, family and fans of Mahmoud Al-Arabi, and we always hope to see businessmen who have the simplest axioms of humanity, and to be an addition to the economy of our country.
