Our Story
Our Heritage
More than a decade of industrial development, construction experience and technological innovation — forming the foundation of GRC Africa today.
Our Heritage
A Legacy of Industrial Innovation
The foundations of GRC Africa were built through years of industrial activity, construction experience and the development and deployment of advanced Structural Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Building Systems across multiple markets. What began as a family-led industrial venture evolved through successive operating companies and projects into the wider industrial platform represented by GRC International Holdings and GRC Africa today.

Carrying the Legacy Forward
2012 — 2014
Reyada Construction Industries
The group's industrial journey began in 2012 when the late Eng. Mohammed Alraies established Reyada Construction Industries as an industrial platform serving the construction and building manufacturing sectors in Egypt and Libya. By 2014, the family's activities had expanded further into African markets, with Moustafa Alraies joining his father in advancing the group's industrial and construction operations.
2014 — 2020
The Development of Structural GRC Building Systems
Driven by Eng. Mohammed Alraies' focus on technological innovation, industrial development and value creation, the group expanded its work in Structural Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Building Systems. Together with his son, Moustafa Alraies, this work progressed across Sub-Saharan Africa through MAR & DAR Swazi GRC in the Kingdom of Eswatini and through strategic collaborations in the construction and industrial sectors.
This period established much of the practical experience, technical knowledge and operating foundation upon which the group's present-day Structural GRC activities and green Alternative Building Technologies (ABT) continue to develop.
2020 — Present
GRC International Holdings & GRC Africa
Following the passing of Eng. Mohammed Alraies in 2020, Moustafa Alraies continued the industrial vision they had developed together, consolidating the experience, technology and operating foundations built through their previous ventures under a unified group structure.
This evolution led to GRC International Holdings and its subsidiaries, with GRC Africa established as the group's regional industrial, operational and deployment platform for African markets. Today, the group continues to build upon the foundation created through more than a decade of construction, manufacturing and Structural GRC development.
