We are pleased to introduce you to Chora Gas Chemical Products Factory (CGCPF), one of Ethiopia’s pioneering industrial manufacturers. Our company was originally established in 1938 E.C. in Addis Ababa under the name SEDE, founded by four foreign nationals and one Ethiopian citizen with an initial capital of just 1,500 birr. From its early years, the factory focused on producing Oxygen and Acetylene gases, Sedex Bleach, and wax products.

In 1976 E.C., CGCPF became a government-owned enterprise under the National Chemical Corporation, where our role was focused on production and inventory, while procurement and sales were managed centrally. With the dissolution of the corporation in 1985 E.C., we gained full operational autonomy under the Public Enterprise Service Authority (PESA).

In line with the government’s privatization program under Proclamation No. 146/1998, our factory was fully transferred to private ownership and is now proudly administered by AMAGA Private Limited Company.

Today, CGCPF is registered and licensed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry under Ethiopian trade law. We are committed to building a world-class, value-driven organization, and are currently implementing a fully integrated ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System to enhance our operations and ensure the highest standards.
