“Having close relations with our distributors goes a long way to success in any market and the team and I were impressed by the progress of the Egyptian industry and vision shown by Wadi in recent years,” said Exley. “We are confident and very positive about the opportunities and future of the Ross brand in the country.”

“We were thrilled to welcome the Aviagen executive team to our offices recently,” added Freiji. “We thank Aviagen for its commitment and vision of appointing Wadi as the Ross 308 distributor in Egypt. Ross 308 is the right product with the correct attributes for a progressive and dynamic growing market, and this visit was the perfect platform to discuss Aviagen’s and Wadi’s strategic roadmap for the Ross brand in Egypt.”
