Our Story

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leadership

Founded in 2010 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Saditra Soap & Detergent Industrial Trading PLC began with a clear vision: to produce world-class soap products that meet the highest international quality standards while remaining accessible to communities across Africa and beyond.\n\nWhat started as a small-scale operation with a single production line has grown into one of East Africa's most advanced soap manufacturing facilities. Today, our sprawling industrial complex houses over 10 automated production lines, a state-of-the-art R&D laboratory, and advanced packaging systems capable of producing over 50 million bars of soap annually.\n\nOur growth has been built on an unwavering commitment to three core principles: quality without compromise, innovation in every formula, and sustainability in every process.
