by Feyisayo Ajayi

The Elnefeidi Group, controlled by Amin Bashir Elnefeidi, has established itself as one of Sudan’s most prominent family businesses, making significant strides since its inception.

Founded by the late Bashir Elnefeidi, the company began as a small retail shop in 1934, operated by Bashir and his two brothers. With determination and foresight, they successfully transformed the business into a thriving wholesale trade enterprise.

In 1974, Bashir shifted the family partnership’s focus to transportation, marking a significant turning point. Meanwhile, his brothers expanded the business into sectors including agriculture, the oil industry, and property development. Under Bashir’s leadership, Elnefeidi Group’s investment activities flourished, propelling it to become one of Sudan’s largest transportation companies. The group’s success extended beyond Sudan’s borders, achieving notable achievements in Chad, Ethiopia, and the Horn of Africa.

Over the years, Elnefeidi Group embraced diversification, venturing into industry, trading, and an array of services. This strategic expansion broadened the group’s reach and solidified its presence in multiple sectors. With a keen eye for investment opportunities, Elnefeidi Group consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic market conditions.

Today, Elnefeidi Group stands as a testament to the visionary leadership of its late founder. From humble beginnings as a small retail shop, the group’s growth trajectory has been impressive. With its diversified portfolio and successful ventures across industries, Elnefeidi Group continues to leave a lasting impact on Sudan’s business landscape.
