Hegazi’s family started as farmers of herbs , spices , seeds and medicinal and aromatic plants in their own farms , depending on the family’s experience in agriculture.
We then proceeded to supply these herbs and their products as raw materials to local customers in Egypt.
Then we prepared a wide plot of land to receive, dry, prepare and store medicinal and aromatic herbs resulting from the farm’s harvest.
After that , we turned to exporting to countries abroad ourselves, and the matter was not limited to supplying local customers, but we have international customers in several countries around the world.
We purchased a factory in the first industrial zone in Kom Oshim and provided it with a complete Leaves production and Sieving line from Cimbria Heid Company so that we would be able to cope with the expansions that occurred in the rate of production of these herbs and plants and be able to provide customers with their requirements and needs with a distinguished quality level.
It was not limited to Leaves and its processing only, but we also provided the factory with another production line for sifting and processing Seeds from the Tanis Turkish company to cope up with the quality of the required international products.
We have established a civil association ” Misr El- Benaa For development ” to serve small farmers and environmental development in Egypt and obtained the Fairtrade certificate from Flocert , which is still doing a variety of services that help in the development of the environment and help small farmers , people with disabilities , the poor and needy , the development of villages and their needs , and the establishment of schools and other institutions to support education In areas that need such services.
Due to the remarkable progress in the quality of herbal products and their derivatives , we have purchased a Sortex machine from Buhler company , which works on separating different colors and densities from each other so that we can obtain the best quality that matches international specifications and customers’ needs.
Our old farms are no longer sufficient to provide us with all the quantities and various products required by customers , so we have purchased some new desert lands and reclaimed them and applied modern irrigation lines and methods that increase the growth rates of Herbs. The area of these lands extended to 800 hectares to suffice the required production capacity and produce different types of herbs and seeds.
We purchased another new factory, also located in the first industrial area of Kom Oshim, and provided it with two modern production and Sieving lines for Leaves and seeds , because the required production capacity increased , so we had to expand to meet the needs of all customers . Also we supported the new factory with a metal detector device and microbiological lab to achieve and sustain the best quality.
We looked forward to developing ourselves . Instead of limiting our work to processing and packaging herbs , Seeds and medicinal and aromatic plants as raw materials and exporting them abroad, we thought that we would produce some products that benefit the local market beside the global market. Hence the idea of VINUR , which is a new brand for packaging high quality herbal tea . The distinctive taste and what distinguishes this product is that it is under our control since its inception, starting with the cultivation step until the product reaches the customer’s mouth through the steps of processing and manufacturing as a whole , which makes its quality reliable.
