Our roots are here.
Our outlook is broad.
We are Xiaobel, a privately owned Ethiopian group with businesses in manufacturing, trade, coal mining, healthcare, industrial infrastructure and vehicle assembly.
Many businesses.
One Xiaobel.
Established in 2019, Xiaobel brings together eight businesses with a shared home in Ethiopia.
We manufacture goods, trade agricultural products, mine coal, and provide industrial space, healthcare and vehicle assembly.
Each business serves a different need. Together, they connect the things people use, the services they depend on and the industries that keep the economy moving.

Founder
A word from
our founder.
Xiaobel was established to serve the industrial and commercial needs of the Ethiopian market. Behind it are close to ten years of direct trading between Ethiopia and suppliers abroad, China among them, carried out privately before the company existed.
That experience shaped the decisions taken since. It showed where consignments are held up in transit, which inputs Ethiopian manufacturers were paying too much for, and where a properly structured supply link would add real value. The company was registered once the volume of that work needed a formal structure behind it.
The group today runs eight businesses across trade, manufacturing, mining, industrial property and healthcare. Each is a business in its own right, with its own management, its own customers and its own standards of delivery.
We are looking for long-term partners in sourcing, supply and joint investment. If you are considering working with us, I would welcome the conversation.
