Samina for Importing and Commercial Agencies (SAMINA Stores) was established in 1990 as a commercial company with the aim of presenting high-valued products to the Egyptian market, which means high quality with good price products. Besides, we targeted to share in the improvement of the service level presented to the Egyptian customer. In order to fulfill this, we put a standard level for the presented service so as not to be less than that in any other country. Thank God, SAMINA Stores now have become an ideal example, in its field, to be compared with to whom who wants to present the best to his customers. Beyond 23 years, we worked on achieving our objectives with utmost effort and continuous work. Within we spared no money, labor, or time, to complete this great image.about0 So from the first day, we decided to work on obtaining our customer’s satisfaction. And also achieving staff’s satisfaction, which shows our belief in the importance of the human element which will reflect positively on offering the best services. From this point of view, we’ve been keen to reach our customers wherever they are, so we established our first Store in Maadi in 1999. Maadi Store gave a great opportunity to us to make good relations with a lot of customers inside and outside Maadi. And that is what turned our vision to serve our customers effectively in a lot of districts such as New Cairo and Nasr City. So, we opened our first store in the 4th District in New Cairo in 2003. New Cairo Store is discriminated by a unique style and offers the service of the Colour Consultant. Then we opened Enaba Store in Enaba Mall in the 3rd district, New Cairo in 2008. Thus, we have existed in a strong market among a lot of competitors. And thus our customers can compare and discover where to find the best service. In 2010, we’ve got a new strong member with the opening of Nasr City Store. And due to the increasing need, we opened the Chemical Store, in 2012, specializing in construction chemicals and waterproofing materials. All these stores have got great trained sales staff, strong show abilities for customers and a variety of products in the field of painting, décor and construction chemicals. And we are planning to open more stores in other places, inside and outside Cairo, in order to be able to serve our dear customers everywhere. For the areas that aren’t covered by our stores, we’ve established the outdoor sales department, in 2011. Now, we have the ability to reach customers freely, easily, and faster. The outdoor sales department has the same advantages that are available in our stores with the same capability. From the beginning, our belief has been always “Service in Good Faith”
