BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 27. Egypt’s leading
logistics provider, Egytrans, is accelerating its growth and
sustainability drive with backing from the EBRD’s Women in Business
program, Trend

Under the leadership of CEO Abir Leheta, recently named among
Forbes Middle East’s 100 Most Powerful Businesswomen 2025, the
company has diversified its services, expanded regionally and
embraced digital and green transformation.

Founded over 50 years ago as a family business, Egytrans now
offers integrated transport solutions ranging from freight
forwarding to project logistics. Recent milestones include the
acquisition of NOSCO Egypt and the opening of its first branch in
Saudi Arabia, which has tripled the company’s workforce to 1,000

With EBRD support, Egytrans has developed its first carbon
footprint report, introduced sustainability reporting, and advanced
digital transformation through new IT systems and initiatives such
as Logivators, an accelerator for logistics start-ups.

Leheta emphasised the importance of collaboration and resilience
in leadership. “Real success comes from working with smart people
who can help drive things forward,” she said, urging women
entrepreneurs to seek support in male-dominated industries.

As it expands, Egytrans aims to position itself as a regional
leader in sustainable logistics, contributing not only to business
growth but also to broader economic and social development.
