A Path Marked by Achievements

A variety of achievements mark our company’s journey: from its humble founding, selling only one product, to the national player we are today. Throughout the years, we have expanded our product mix, introduced several new transport vehicles to the Ethopian market, and continously expanded our footprint through organic growth. During this time, our valued and dedicated employees have contributed to our success.

Mr. Obsa Ahmednaji

General Manager

AM General Trading has been consistenty delivering increasing profits while building a solid foundation for the company's future. Despite the challenging business environment in Ethiopia in the last three years, my focus remains to be sustaining this profitability while expanding the company's EV market share and its manufacturing capacity. I believe it is here where our future lies.

The continuing global oil price increase fueled by regional conflicts and the Ethiopian government's decision to lift fuel subsidies completely by 2023 puts pressure on our company to meet the demands of our customers for cost efficient vehicles. Thus, we must continue to meet current demand for gasoline powered vehicles while at the same time looking into the future and expanding our market in electric powered automobiles. The expected completion of the GERD is expected to exceed electricity demand in the country - yet another bright future for our EV operations.

The core objective of our 2024 corporate strategy centers around building the capacity of our company in manufacturing and assembly. The inspiration for this goal is rooted in our vision of building our capacity in order to meet the demands of the east African region. By increasing our technical capability, we aim to create great value for our customers, our community, and our employees.

We are grateful for the continuing support of our employees, our partners, and our community. We look forward to working with all of you to create a better tomorrow.
