A Legacy of Industrial Innovation

Established in 2007 G.C. Sofi Chemical Manufacture & Trade PLC has grown to become a cornerstone of the manufacturing sector in Ethiopia. Under the visionary technical leadership of Managing Director Eng. Shishay Leulseged (Chemical Engineer), our company has consistently driven industrial excellence, local value addition, and strategic import substitution.

Operating from our sprawling 14,500 square meters of modern industrial infrastructure across Mekelle and Addis Ababa, we combine cutting-edge chemical engineering with rigorous laboratory quality control. From these expansive manufacturing hubs, we develop, refine, and supply high-performance products that serve as the foundational elements for the construction, agricultural, decorative, and manufacturing sectors nationwide.

Through our three specialized, high-capacity divisions—PATINA Paints, NASU Construction Chemicals, and NANA Industrial Minerals—we deliver the flawless finishes, polymer-modified strength, and high-purity raw materials required to power the rapid infrastructural and economic development of the nation.
