Since our establishment in 1986, we have been at the forefront of shaping industries and fostering sustainable practices.

As we reflect on our journey, each milestone stands as a testament to our collective achievements, propelling us forward into a future defined by innovation and positive impact.
The journey commenced in 1986 with the inception of "Carwan Enterprises," marking our foray into sourcing high-quality foodstuff for local markets. Initially focused on trading food products, semi-manufactured goods, and raw materials for the agricultural sector, this laid the foundation for our diverse ventures.
The establishment of "Tawoos Oil Mills (TOM)" in 1989 marked our venture into edible oil processing. This factory, extracting oils from various seeds and nuts, added a crucial dimension to our growing portfolio.
In 2003, the acquisition of substantial ownership in "Sharg Al-Nile Flour Mills" expanded our influence into flour production. Later gaining full ownership in 2010, this move fortified our position in the food industry.
Simultaneously in 2003, "Carawan Industrial Company (CIC)" emerged, becoming the guiding force overseeing the group's production activities across industries.
Our involvement in cement manufacturing took a significant step in 2004 with the acquisition of substantial ownership in "Nile Cement Company (NCCL)." The ownership included the "Rabak Cement Factory" and a substantial limestone reserve, contributing to the cement industry's growth.
The year 2005 witnessed the establishment of "Rainbow," an agricultural farming company designed to harvest and source various commodities, enriching the group's trading and processing capabilities.
"Energy Vision," established in 2005, stepped into the realm of cargo transportation within Sudan, facilitating the movement of commodities between the group's facilities.
The same year saw the establishment of "Tawoos Investment Company (TIC)," strategically positioned to handle the group's expanding trade and trade-related activities. Offices and labs were set up across major states in Sudan, bolstering commodity analysis and marketing efforts.
In collaboration with Al-Safa Group, the group ventured into producing various cement products and exporting them to Southern Sudan and other neighbouring countries through the establishment of "Cemix" in 2006.
A transformative year saw the evolution of "Carawan Enterprises" into "Carawan Holding Company" in 2007. Tawoos Investment Company solidified its position with its own subsidiaries, while Carawan Industrial Company became a parent company to Nile Cement Company & Tawoos Oil Mills.
Stepping into 2010, the group inaugurated "Soft Flour Mills," its first fully automated factory dedicated to flour production.
The group expanded its footprint in 2014, establishing "Sea Grains," a cargo handling company strategically located at the port of Sudan, northern bay. With proximity to the berth, Sea Grains facilitates bulk grain import and bagging operations.
In 2015, "Mahad Al-Zahab" was established, focusing on the mining and refining of gold and precious minerals, contributing to the diversified portfolio.
2016 witnessed the establishment of Sudan's first solvent extraction plant for edible oils, "Al-Ballor Oil Complex." Equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, it became a key player in meeting local market consumption.
The same year marked the acquisition of "Sudanese Printing Company (SPC)," one of Sudan's pioneering printing houses, further diversifying the group's portfolio.
