Who we are
NARED General Trading PLC — operating as Nared Group — was established more than eighteen years ago as a pharmaceutical wholesale company by a single founder, with an initial capital of two thousand dollars.
Today the group operates four lines of business: pharmaceutical wholesale and institutional supply, electronic voucher distribution and prepaid utility payment services under Nared Telecom, and purified bottled water under our WUB Water brand — alongside our future Nared Mining sector.
The group runs three warehouses, a 30-vehicle distribution fleet, and a nationwide outlet network that reaches more than thirty Ethiopian cities and two thousand indirect points of sale.
Our promise
Because your life matters.
Whether it is medicine on a hospital shelf, water on an office table, or telecom services in a rural shop, every Nared Group business is built on the simple principle that the people we serve come first.
