[00:03] or quality of the product lasts longer than the design or the style, whether modern or classic. What materials and woods do you use, and how can I, as a customer, distinguish between a genuine material and one that isn't the best? Well,
[00:18] best? Well, regarding the material, it depends on the work or the specific requirements of the client. For example, let's say I have a kitchen. At the same time, I can't use materials that might come into contact
[00:34] with water or humidity, because most of the kitchen's use involves water. So, I choose my material. I have a choose my material. I have a kitchen, so I take its measurements. At the same time,
[00:49] I advise the client to use natural wood plywood. Or, I can use sheet metal, regardless of whether it's Egyptian, Indian, imported, or whatever. At the same time, I choose natural wood, especially for the kitchen. Okay, regarding dressing rooms or home furnishings
[01:06] in general, there are absolutely no problems with using MDF, particleboard, HPL, or any other materials. I have no issues with that. At the same time, for example, if the client asks you initially what the best
[01:22] material is, we must advise them. It's important to understand that when the client receives the finished product, we must provide a five-year warranty against
[01:34] five-year warranty against manufacturing defects. This excludes defects in accessories, which are not covered by our company. For example, a faulty mechanism like a push-button or covered by our company. For example, a faulty mechanism like a push-button or
[01:48] but it's covered by our manufacturing process. Based on this, I determine the best option for the client and what the best materials are for the kitchen, dressing room,
[02:00] bedroom, or children's room – whatever the furnishings may be. Absolutely, and at the same time, we're now in Egypt with the best raw materials that are competitive worldwide in
[02:13] the field of wood surfaces. For example, God willing, this company was originally I see the pictures being shown; if next to the Eiffel Tower, and I learned that the main branch is also
[02:28] in Paris. The main branch is in Paris, and we took the European concept with Egyptian raw materials to deliver the best quality for the customer. The raw materials available in Egypt are impossible to find in any other country because we work with natural wood here.
[02:42] In other countries, all the materials are manufactured MDF. That's the kind of wood most giant companies use. At the same time, we combined the
[02:55] European design, finish, and texture, and at the same time, we incorporated it with heavy Egyptian raw materials to create a product that isn't available in the global market. We're talking about the market now. Global, not just the Egyptian market.
[03:11] second company, the second branch, we opened in Egypt, and God willing, it will be ready in exactly two and a half months because the paperwork for the third company will be opened in Kavala, Greece. Because now, God willing, this will be a global company, not just a local one,
[03:26] representing Egypt. Because, God willing, we hope to produce the best product and we willing, we hope to produce the best product and we hope to export Egyptian products abroad. On behalf of Egypt, we want to grow the company and make it dominant, providing opportunities for manufacturers and
[03:43] craftsmen, opening up opportunities for all manufacturers. So, from what you've said, Mr. Mohamed, we can say that the Egyptian product can say that the Egyptian product can now compete with the global product, right?
[03:55] No, it's not a competitor, but there's no competition between the Egyptian product and the global product. Regarding the counter, I currently have a sheet. This sheet is made of... 100% natural wood, kiln-dried and assembled by well-
[04:07] known companies in Egypt, giants in surface manufacturing. I then add the three-ply or five-ply layer, and at the same time, I also add the sheeting. I
[04:19] now have 100% natural, kiln-dried, and treated materials that are resistant to moisture, water, and everything else. But at the same time, what's the difference between us and, for example, abroad? As an Egyptian, I like to make a kitchen, a dressing room, or a bedroom, and at the same time,
[04:35] kitchen, a dressing room, or a bedroom, and at the same time, years. On the contrary, abroad, I replace things every year or two, so I'm not required to buy materials that will last
[04:49] me five or ten years. So there's a difference. Here, the factories that manufacture the plywood we work with, regardless of the color, will apply the sheeting or glue it to. color, will apply the sheeting or glue it to. The point is that the board lasts more
[05:03] than 10 years, has a higher warranty than abroad, and there's no competition between us and abroad, especially regarding plywood. Very nice. Okay, Mr. Abd. No.
