ABOUT YASCAI

WHO WE ARE

YASCAI is more than just a business; it's a family-driven enterprise rooted in an unwavering vision of innovation and sustainability. From our humble beginnings, we have been dedicated to crafting sustainable and organic adhesive solutions. Our journey began with the utilization of indigenous resources found in the lush terrains of Ethiopia, culminating in the creation of products of the utmost quality. 

By formulating adhesive recipes using local ingredients like (Enset) and evolving to casein-based adhesives, we have become pioneers in the industry. YASCAI aspires to be the most trusted and leading provider in the adhesive sector, not only for Ethiopia but for the entire African continent. Our product range includes various adhesives, such as starch for carton box making, sizing starch for textiles, oxidized starch for paper and soap making, and casein-based glue for labeling factories.

Our History: A Visionary Beginning 24 Years Ago

YASCAI embarked on its remarkable journey 24 years ago, emerging from the living room of the inquisitive and hardworking entrepreneur, Yitbarek Alemu. Alemu, the founding figure and heartbeat of YASCAI, brought with him not only a strong work ethic but also a deep curiosity that laid the foundation for our company. As the father of YASCAI, Alemu is not only a visionary entrepreneur but also a distinguished chemist. His life's dedication has been to explore innovative avenues, tirelessly seeking realistic and sustainable solutions. Alemu's passion for discovery has become the driving force behind YASCAI's unique identity.

YASCAI stands apart at its core due to our unwavering commitment to innovation. From its inception, our company dared to explore alternatives and create tailor-made products that address the evolving needs of our diverse clientele. The living room where YASCAI was born symbolizes not just a humble beginning but the spirit of curiosity, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of providing quality solutions that define our company to this day. For two decades, YASCAI has grown and evolved under the guidance of Yitbarek Alemu, and as we celebrate our journey, we remain rooted in the principles that have defined us from the start. The living room where it all began continues to resonate with the essence of our entrepreneurial spirit and the vision that propels us forward into a future of continued innovation and excellence.
