The roots of the Obegi Group were firmly planted in 1905, when the founder of the family business, Yordan Obegi, started introducing chemical dyestuffs to the textile and leather industries in Syria, Lebanon, Southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq. The groundwork was laid for the Obegi Group.

During the years that followed, Bechara and Henry Obegi continued in their father's footsteps, developing a reputable local family business into a regional network of companies throughout the Middle East and Europe.

With the same entrepreneurial spirit as their grandfather, father and uncle, Yordan, Riad and Georges have expanded further the activities of the Obegi Group.

In 2005, three generations of the Obegi family celebrated the group's centennial, together with their colleagues and stakeholders who contributed to the group's success.

Their aim is to develop a family business into a highly professional organization while preserving its core values.
