Fawzi Gergi Tamer
Profile
Our journey began in 1908 as the third
registered company in Beirut. At that time,
three sons of the Tamer family joined forces
to form a trade and industry business. The
trade division initially imported dental
products and supplies, while the industry
division was involved in manufacturing
vegetable oil, paints and detergent products.
Since then, our growth has been steady,
with the introduction of new brands and
products to our import portfolio, the
broadening of our distribution market, and
revamping of production operations to
include manufacturing of our own
proprietary cosmetics labels.
