Established in West Africa in 1946 by the Lebanese entrepreneur Antoine Tabet, the Tabet Group has grown from a-one-hundred-truck local
transport company to an international company with businesses throughout Africa, Europe and the Middle East. This grown is mainly
attributed to the diligence, integrity and strong work ethic held by Antoine Tabet. His professionalism together with his innate Lebanese creativity earned worked with such as Bouygues, Colas, Jean Lefebvre, Chauffour
Dumez, Sofratp, Draguages, etc...
In 1966 Antoine Tabet paved the way for the French company Bouygues
Construction into Africa, and became the representative of Bouygues in Senegal. Originally he built up his company by
Concentrating his energies on the finance and execution of a number of industrial, public works and infrastructure projects in Africa.
Tabet was
not to be contained in Africa. The 1980’s saw the birth of Tabet Group of Companies beginning with the creation
of the Belgium based general contracting company ILPA, in which Tabet is a major
shareholder. This facilitated the diversification of Tabet Group into the construction of “turnkey “and special design projects. ILPA
as part of Tabet Group
carved in niche for itself in the hospital sector and won bids to design, build and finance hospitals in the Middle East.
The key to the success of the Group has been careful planning and forward thinking. Each new project is carefully studied and is
independent of any other ongoing ventures at the time; thus minimizing the risk to the Group as a whole. Our strategy is simple:
assess the situation, assess the risk, assess the viability and aggressively go for our target.
Our foreign investments and our
collaboration with international companies have ensured the diversification of The Group. From its inception until today The Group has
been involved in the completion of projects as diverse as oil refineries, roads and bridges in Africa, residential complexes and office
buildings in the Middle East, hospitals in Turkey, South America and the Caribbean, sports center in England, to slaughterhouses
in Turkey and French Polynesia!
Today we continue to grow, diversify and aim for excellence and quality in the services that we provide for our clientele.
