Active in supplying, designing, installing, and commissioning electromechanical systems, particularly for the food, beverage, and alcohol industries.

Strategic Plans
ZAMG has outlined plans to move beyond trading and imports by venturing into agro-industrial projects, especially dairy farming and food processing. This indicates a strategy of vertical integration to build local manufacturing and processing capacity in Ethiopia.
Observations
Public financial details are scarce, so the scale of operations is unclear.
The business plans suggest aspirations for expansion, but it’s not fully clear how much of this is already implemented.
The company appears to be relatively niche, with focused operations rather than being a large-scale diversified conglomerate.
