Dr. Nader Riad is one of Egypt’s leading industrial figures. His career is full of success stories, and the most significant is when his company – Bavaria Egypt – took over Bavaria Germany in spite of fierce competition. Dr. Riad outlines his life and professional career. He studied in Egypt, Germany and the US. Once back to his home country, he founded a company – Bavaria – producing fire extinguishers, which at the time were scarce and poorly efficient in Egypt. That company gradually grew bigger and different branches have been opened in different Arab countries. Today, Dr. Riad stands as one of the top industrialists in Egypt and indeed the entire world, and has been awarded several prizes, both in Egypt and abroad. His company has also obtained several standard certificates, which have increased Bavaria’s reputation and credibility and showed that Dr. Riad puts quality at the top of his priorities. During his career, he has very much contributed to Egypt’s development efforts. Not only has he created work opportunities, but he also allowed Egyptian fire extinguisher industry to stand on an equal footing with its international counterparts. In addition, he has written several studies on topics such as industrial safety, the ways to boost production and exports, and much more. His name is also remembered for his initiatives away from the industrial field.
