The Egyptian German Automotive Company (EGA) is an Egyptian car assembler who is located in the 6th of October City in Cairo. It was founded by engineer Samy Saad and the former Daimler-Benz CEO Jürgen Erich Schrempp as a joint venture to assemble vehicles of the Mercedes-Benz brand. The management of the 1996 founded firm is assumed by the Daimler AG who has given it to Markus Schäfer. As of 2015, following the political and economic turmoil in Egypt, assembly of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars has ceased. Since then, the company has been offering sub-assembly for other Automotive assembly plants in Egypt.
