MIDROC Investment Group is an absolutely colossal, incredibly diversified multinational conglomerate and the undisputed largest private sector enterprise in Ethiopia. Owned by the prominent Saudi-Ethiopian billionaire Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Ali Al-Amoudi, MIDROC controls a massive portfolio of over 80 subsidiary companies that span across mining, agriculture, manufacturing, real estate, and luxury hospitality. The group is the absolute driving force in Ethiopia’s extractive industries, notably operating MIDROC Gold Mine, which manages the massive Legadembi open-pit and underground gold mines, generating crucial foreign exchange. In the manufacturing sector, the group controls National Cement and Messebo Cement, providing the structural foundation for the country’s construction boom. Their agricultural wing, Elfora Agro-Industries, is a dominant exporter of premium livestock and processed meats. MIDROC’s impact on the Ethiopian capital is profoundly visible through its real estate and hospitality dominance, most notably as the owner of the iconic, ultra-luxury Sheraton Addis Hotel. Operating with a massive, multi-billion Birr capital base, MIDROC Investment Group is a massive employer of tens of thousands of Ethiopians and serves as the quintessential pillar of the nation’s private industrial and commercial capability.
