OUR STORY
Small enterprises that were founded as early as 1995, including Habesha International Promotion, Metex Café, Victory Audio-Video, and other retail organizations, gave rise to the SOLEX COOP group.
The SOLEX COOP has been broadening its line of business to include mining operations, construction, hotel and tourism, hospitality industries, business consulting training, property management, logistics, and expeditions throughout Ethiopia and Switzerland.
Since its founding, the business has generated revenues of 100 million Ethiopian Birr in 2021 and 120 million Birr in 2022. After the group’s rebranding in 2019, SOLEX COOP is currently managed and owned by Solomon Tsegaye Teserra.
