Welcome to SBS The Biggest PEB factory in West Africa
About Sana Group

SANA Group, founded in 2007 by Dr. Eng. Alaa Alghadban and Mr. Mouin Alghadban, began its journey in Nigeria, initially focusing on the design and construction of industrial projects, including factories for the food and heavy industries. Over time, the group expanded through strategic investments in human resources, technology, and machinery, establishing itself as a trusted contractor known for delivering high-quality projects on time and within budget.

From early projects valued at $500,000, SANA Group expanded its operations beyond Nigeria, entering other African markets in 2013. This success led to the rebranding as SANA Global Projects Ltd, reflecting its broader global outlook. The company also established a real estate development division in Syria, focusing on high-rise towers and factories, while also developing a design office in Damascus.

The group remains committed to value creation in every market it serves, ensuring sustainability and excellence across all its operations.
