Our journey
From a workshop in 6th of October to a leading screw-compressor supplier
Our journey began on 1 September 1986, when Eng. Hamdy Abu El-Rokab founded his dream project with his brothers. The milestones, decade by decade.
1986
The beginning
Eng. Hamdy Abu El-Rokab founded a specialist automatic-control workshop — Egypt's first workshop repairing and servicing diesel compressors, and the first family partnership in air compressors in Egypt.
1998
The first used-compressor company
We moved to larger premises, founded the Egyptian-German company for air-compressor technology, and introduced the first used air-compressor sales service to the Egyptian market.
2000
Screw compressors for Egyptian industry
We began selling, servicing and repairing screw air compressors, focusing on small and medium factories, working with agents in five European countries.
2002
Genuine and European spare parts
We brought genuine and high-quality European spare parts from leading European factories to the Egyptian market.
2004
Growing internationally
We expanded into technical and engineering consulting for compressed-air systems in Egypt and Europe, with a new German partnership.

Built to last
The company passed entirely from a German partnership to Egyptian ownership, and Power Union Egypt was founded.

A family company named Misr Compressor
The company became wholly owned by Eng. Hamdy, his son Ahmed and his daughter Sara, as Misr Compressor, and grew in compressor sales, service and rental.
2018
