From our origins in Egypt to operations across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE, Setcore's footprint reflects four decades of consistent delivery for the region's most demanding operators.
The El Tawil family have been building since 1810. By the mid-twentieth century, they were among Egypt's most prominent industrial families. When the El Tawil Tannery was nationalized in 1963 under Nasser's socialist policies, it marked not an end — but a pause.
In 1972, as President Sadat's Infitah policy reopened Egypt to private enterprise, Mr. Said El Tawil returned. He founded El Tawil Trading & Engineering — one of the country's first privately owned companies of the modern era — and over the following decade built a portfolio of industry firsts: Dolce, Egypt's first ice cream manufacturer, later acquired by Nestlé; the Nile Company for Food Industries (Enjoy), a pioneer in fruit juice and dairy, later sold to private equity; Nassco Trading, among Egypt's first private cotton exporters. And in 1985, Setcore Petroleum Services.
Each enterprise reflected the same conviction: that quality built by hand, from nothing, endures. Today, under the leadership of his grandson Tamer Nassar, Setcore carries that conviction into every wellbore we touch — across four countries, in the service of the region's most demanding energy operators.
