Chancel International

Chancel International was formed in 1987 by Dr. M. Adel Gawish a Professor of Engineering from Egypt who believed he could assist the refugees of the world by providing them with a certain amount of dignity in poverty. He used his talents of engineering to source aluminium kitchen sets from local facilities. This, he believed, would not only assist the refugees by providing equipment to cook and eat with, but would also provide work for many of the people within his local community just outside Cairo in Egypt. He became very successful at manufacturing these kitchen sets which brought him to the notice of United Nations buying groups. They placed a sample order with Chancel and finding the quality to be very good formed a long association with Chancel International. Now 14 years on from the start of Chancel International the organisation continues to supply the UN organisations with Aluminium Kitchenware amongst many other items. Chancel International has held the Long Term Agreement with a leading UN Agency for more than eight years (from the time Long Term Agreements were first started). Only 18 months ago, Chancel International opened a new fully automated factory close to the site of its original factory in Sadat city. This factory is now capable of producing over one million cooking sets each year. It is the only fully automated kitchen sets manufacturing facility for the international aid community throughout the world. The new factory has allowed the company to move manufacturing staff onto other areas such as quality control, stock control and freight. This in turn ensures that its quality control procedures are second to none. Chancel International also has a number of joint venture agreements within Egypt. These are for kerosene stoves and blankets. Chancel International has an office in Syria which oversees other manufacturing plants with which it has joint venture agreements for Tent Heaters and Clothing. Chancel International recently opened an office for sales and marketing in United Kingdom to work closely with its clients based in Europe and USA. This facility will hopefully be expanded in this year. In 2001, Chancel International moved its headquarters to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The main reason for this is to ensure that it can offer its clients in the Emergency Relief sector, a fast and efficient service. Dubai, as a freeport, is one of the hub ports of the world with over 150 shipping lines operating out of the port on a regular basis, plus one of the most sophisticated air cargo warehouses in the world. Dubai also provides Chancel International with access to inexpensive charter flight operations. Chancel International has based itself in the freeport in Dubai where it has its office and warehouse within the Jebel Ali Free Zone. This gives the company the advantage of holding stocks, which can be turned round and sent out with the minimum of time and with maximum efficiency. Chancel International moved into a new office, warehouse and factory complex in 2002. It will then be able to provide a comprehensive stock of Emergency relief supplies on a first serve basis comprising of cooking sets, tents, blankets, kerosene stoves and heaters, hurricane lanterns, sleeping mats, water carriers and generator sets. Chancel also has a joint venture agreement with a local food manufacturer to provide commodities such as oil, wheat, wheatflour, sugar and lentils.
