Egyptian Company for Automation and Development (ECAD) S.A.E.
Established in 1983, ECAD is a prominent private sector company dedicated to marketing, distribution, and servicing of agricultural equipment.
A Legacy of Innovation
ECAD's journey began with the exclusive distributorship of Sumitomo Corporation for Yanmar Agriculture Equipment CO. This partnership marked a significant milestone, as ECAD introduced advanced rice transplanting technology and head feed rice combine harvesters from Japan to the Egyptian market.
