History

When Dr. Youssry Kotb conceived his vision of the home-appliance giant that universal has now become, he understood that such dreams required great determination and strength.
Within two decades, he not only witnessed his dreams reality, but used his creative energy to push Universal's achievements beyond that dream.

Universal embraces the future with strength and pride as it rests securely on the accomplishments and legacies of its founding father. Despite Universal's consistent and continual growth , Dr. Kotb still insists that it remain a family business and in furtherance of this objective the business will pass to his two sons who share their father's passion and dedication.
